From the Hawkins Family. Emma Jean (momma) raised me like I was her own. I became close with Kizzy and me and mom were treated like we was part of the Gates Family! We love you guys . You gained a great angel in heaven!
Jean was such a sweet person and so full of life and fun! I met her at the East Lake YMCA and she called me Sister because she called my Mother ( Mama) and she really treated us like family. She will always be in our hearts. Prayers for the Family.
Mrs. Emma I will always remember the fun we had at family function, you always had a smile on your face. Sandra Murphy
