We have lost our beloved Emma Genevieve of 12 years, 5 months and 12 days and our hearts are broken. Emma was blessed to have two families that loved her so very much. First she was adopted by her Virginia family: Steve, Gilda, Emma’s girls Marina and Gianna. Then Emma came to us, Jim, Teri and Emma’s little guy Duffy (our beagle). We all wish to thank you for Emma coming into our life. Life is to be enjoyed and Emma loved life.

All of us wish to thank American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue for all they did for Emma. If it was not for Rescue we would not have had the honor of Emma Dear in our lives.

We all miss you, love you always, Emma Dear, and will all hold you in our hearts forever.
With all our love,
Steve, Gilda, Marina, Gianna, Jim, Teri and Duffy

but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you...
I loved you so ‘twas Heaven here with you.”
