To Steve and the family of Emma. I am sorry for the loss of your mother’s passing. I am the landlord and really was happy to get to meet your mother. I could not have asked for a mre agreeable tenant. She was a very friendly lady and a pleasure to have as a tenant. May God’s peace and love abound in your hearts. I hope you all love her Lord and Savior as well.
I lost my father on January 29 of this year. He was 81. I was at his bedside along with my 7 siblings when he passed away. We loved him dearly.
Emma’s landlord, Ervin Barkman
