Hello-I just learned of Emma’s passing 3 years ago. my condolences to her family.

She lived across the street from my Grandfather, Dr.T.F.Hill. When I was a little girl, I met her in Athens. She reminded me, about 14 years ago when I took my children to see their heritage, how she washed my stuffed animal when I was there in the early 50’s. She offered to send me information on my grandfather, however sadly, we did not connect after that.

She was a lovely lady with a very warm heart.

Again, my condolences.

Sincerely,

Barbara Hill Dillon
