"I remember Ena Mae when I was a young girl and lived near Emerson. My Mother - Harriett Turner - was in a card club with Ena Mae for many years. She was a sweet lady. Condolences to all of the family."

"I just saw on KMA"S website this evening of Ena Mae's passing. I knew Ena Mae was not doing well as Darrell wrote my Christmas card this year and he said Franette was spending a lot of time with her mom. So very sorry to read this. Ena Mae was one of the sweetest women I have known. My thoughts and prayers to Franette and Sue Ann and their families.. "

Sue ann and Ena Mae had a surprise party for me when I was 12, everyone hid behind the shower curtain in the basement, what wonderful memories of my childhood. Laurie Davis Johnson"

"Franette and Sueanne, Your mother was one of the sweetest women I ever knew. Her door was always open to everyone except when we studied together and your grades went down. She really got her birthday wish this year and I hope you both find comfort in that. Happy Birthday Enamae!"

"Sue Ann--Years ago when our family lived in the Emerson area and I attended the Emerson School, I remember your sweet mom from the fun times when I was at your home. Of course over the years we've lost touch, but I was like, wow, when I saw that your mom lived to be 101! May you and your family be blessed with the comfort that the Lord so graciously provides."
