"Emma Jean" as I so affectionately called you from childhood to adulthood as it beautifully fit and honors your memory. The laughter in your voice and your loving smile were infectious. Thank you for being there for me when I lost my mom I love you and will miss our phone conversations they will always hold a special place in my heart. May you rest in eternal peace🙏🏽

I had the privilege to have so many mothers in my life along with my own mother. Mrs. Norma Jean Smith was one of them that looked out for the kids in the neighborhood. I was sad to hear of her passing but God don't make no mistakes. I'm praying for the family. Elder Horace Johnson
