Condolence to the family. Emanuel was my classmate at Nash County Training School, Nashville, North Carolina, Class 0f 1958. He was kind, quiet and always had a smile on his face. Our first or second class reunion, he said he wanted to come but didn't have anyone to drive him. May he rest in Peace. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Grandpa,
You will be missed! I had the pleasure to see, love, and experience with 1 Grandparent which was you! Thank you for everything you have done for me! I will forever cherish every conversation we had and all the guidance you gave in life! Especially my youth days!
You will never be forgotten! Although you are gone, may the lilies continue to grow!
Sincerely with love,
Your only Grandson!
Daddy with each passing day I'm grateful to have held your hand, sing sweet songs and comfort you to travel to your eternal rest. You were loved
