There are a few people on this earth that actually radiate peace and joy, wisdom and Godliness. Emma is the one of the best examples I have of one who radiated this where ever she went. I will never understand why the world suffered such a loss but the affect in the lives that she's touched will ripple into the next generation. She's left a legacy of changed lives.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I was as high school classmate of Emma's and she was a great person and school mate. It was great seeing her again after many years at our Class reunion last month. I know she will be missed.

Emma worked as an agent in the condo community where my sister Lisa Helton purchased in Acworth, GA. This was a very difficult time in Lisa's life since she was in the midst of bitter divorce. Lisa was not only distraught, she was terrified of her inexperience in purchasing a home by herself. This is where Emma used her incredible gift of comforting Lisa by helping her find the perfect condo and explain all of her finncing options. Of course being her brother and a realtor myself, I was VERY skeptical and kept telling Lisa to make sure there were no catches. Everthing seemed to good to be true. Not only was I wrong, I was very impressed how smoothly everything went for Lisa. I will never forget the first day Lisa had called to tell me about the development she had found, and this very nice realtor working. Thank you for taking care of my sister.

I met Emma 6 years ago. At the time my sister, Jo Anna was living with her while attending ministry school. My first impression was like most others have of her, What an awesome lady. Later I moved down to attend ministry school myself, and my opinion of her has continued to grow. She has been an encourager to me to hold the faith, even in the most difficult times. I have watched her, through her own trials and struggles, hold her head up and continue to smile. She was an incredible example of the type of woman, wife, and Christian, that I aspire to be. After I married her nephew Ben, I not only saw her live the life in church, but with her family.She has always been a spiritual compass to all around her.
She was always the life of the party, and usually planning it. She helped plan my baby shower, she coordinated both mine and my sister's weddings. And anytime we got together we couldn't just have dinner we always had to play games or something fun. She has always had a sense of humor. I have heard the stories of the practical jokes she used to pull. My favorite is of how we actually got HER.
Right after Emma and Chris were married, Ben, Joanna, her husband Craig, and I snuck into their house set all of their clocks ahead an hour. And then hid in the closet until they returned from swimming. We scared them terribly, especially since we made the mistake of hiding in their bedroom closet and not thinking of them coming in and taking off their swimsuits. HA HA
She thought THAT was the joke. Until the next morning. When they got in the car they saw their clock was an hour slower than all of her other clocks. But instead of figuring it out they got into a tift, because Chris had been messing with the battery the day before and he "must have messed it up" because now her clock was running an hour slow. They did not figure it out until they got to church and no one was there yet. They were an hour early!! She laughed so hard and swore to get us back. I don't know that she ever did, but we sure watched our backs for a long time.
I am going to miss her dearly and hate that my daughters, Emily and Anna, will not be able to know one of their greatest spiritual legacies until Heaven.
Thank you Emma AND Chris for all you have done and been in mine and Ben's life. I pray we can make you proud.

Christ's spirit in her made her so precious and beautiful. She always encouraged and there never seemed to be boundaries and limits to dreams and hearts desires. I loved her sense of humour and love for life. Our favourite was, "we're going to have a porkie tonight!" (potjie) South African dish. My kiddies adored her and she was their Aunty America! We love you Emma and will always remember you. I know Jesus is smiling and adoring you. God bless you!
All our love Johnny, Liezelle, Michaela, Jonathan and Hannah -x-x-x-x-
