My Aunt Emily was a wonderful and vivacious woman. I have so many fond memories of my visits with her, and to Ft. Walton Beach…I’m sure my cousins remember that great summer we spent together and all the laughs we had! My Aunt, along with my mother her sister Janice during their time of illness has taught me so many valuable lessons…fight hard, live good, laugh lots and keep faith. I am truly thankful for the wonderful memories of my Aunt that will forever have a special place in my heart! My thoughts and prayers are with all who’s life she has touched, especially for my Uncle Ray, cousins, their spouses and children of whom I know loved her so dearly!
All my Love…Franny
My best friend.
Renee and family, you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. I know how hard it is, but just remember she no longer suffers and is where she is meant to be now. Please let me know if there is anything you need help with. Love, Peggy
Losing our Aunt Sue Sue was very sad for us all. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Not only did she have a deep and abiding love for her family she gave refuge to many, many lucky animals throughout the years.To say that she was an animal lover is an understatement!
Aunt Sue Sue will forever remain in our hearts. With deepest sympathy,prayers, and above all, love. Suzanne
To the Schapley family and my good friend Derick, my sincere condolences. My heart and prayers are with you.

MY PLAYMATE, BESTFRIEND, ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. I’M SURE GOD WILL SEND HER FOR ME WHEN HE CALLS ME HOME LOVE AND MISS HER FOREVER
I am terribly sorry for your lost. I just came across the obituary notice in a directory of funeral homes at funeralhomes.com where our funeral director said we can look up old friends. It is really shocking when you find something you are not looking for. You will be missed by everyone whose life you have touched. My deepest condolences to the family.
unarguably the greatest person to ever be a part of my life… i will never love anyone even as closely as i loved her, and still do… i will never forget all the time we spent together, and long for the time that was taken from me…. may you eternally watch over me… your grandson, Kevyn
