Posts to the tribute of Emily A. Ward

Emily always made me feel at home every time I went for a visit to see Naudia. She taught me euchre and pinnacle which I still play to this day. Her kindness was always felt, and she made me laugh at the most amazing moments. I got to visit her a few years back and it was like going back in time and nothing had changed. My heart breaks for her family. She will always hold a special place in my heart as my adopted mother. Rest well sweet lady and play cards with your sister. Love, Michelle

My aunt was so special in so many ways! She was the smartest person Ive ever known ! She was silly ,and sassy!! I'm going to miss everything about her! I have so many memories growing up with aunt Heimy and my mom Anna! They took us to toys r us every year and told us to put whatever we wanted in the cart! They always made sure we got those exact gifts from "Santa"! My favorite memory tho was a few years ago she was visiting my house and jumped off the boat into the lake because she wanted to see if she could still swim.... SHE COULD NOT! She also said she went in to save Chads sunglasses he happen to lose in the water! She thought they were expensive... they were .89 cents!!! I love you forever and ever aunt Heimy!!! Xoxoxoxoxo
