With deepest sympathy.

Our deepest condolences to Emery’s family. We were his neighbors in the apartment across the hall from him. He was a very quiet man, but always pleasant. Will miss seeing him pass by to get his mail.
What a nice man he was. Will remember his shy smile. May God grant his entire family a special memory to each of them.
To my beloved Steffens cousins: God’s comfort and peace be with you! I always admired Emery for his devotion to his Lord and to Margaret. I am so glad to have known him in this life. We are getting quite a big crowd in our heavenly home! Again, God’s comfort and peace be with you! Love to you, Charles and Marsha Horkey
Our deepest sympathy to your family. Emery was a very gentle, kind man, and a very skilled card player. He’s in heaven rejoicing with your beloved Mom. He will be greatly missed.
Love,
Aunt Lorraine, Brenda, and Cheryl Pederson
