Our condolences to the family. Our hearts are heavy that Emma is no longer with is on earth but she is with us always in spirit. Emma had a grest sense of humor with a mighty and strong character that was admired. We will miss you Emma, may you rest in peace.

We should all give thanks to God for blessing us with Emma Batista. Those who were blessed to know Mrs. "B" got to enjoy her sense of humor and were inspired by her drive for independence. I will always be inspired by her turning one of life's obstacles into a positive. It didn't stop her from raising two beautiful 'accomplished' daughters who went on to carry on the values instilled upon them by their dear mother. Thank you Mrs. "B" for having been so kind to me during my childhood when you lived in the 'neighborhood'. Although we hate to see God take our loved ones, I will have to say he picked a real good one to join his crew. God Bless You Mrs. 'B' and may God be with Yvette and Cathy during this difficult time.

Emma will forever be in our hearts. She was a special member of our family and I will always treasure her friendship and support during the time she lived with my mother. May they reunite in the arms of God.
