My deepest condolences for your loss Johanna and family
My sincere condolences to the entire Emke Family in behalf of the death of Hedwig Emke. The Home of the Emke Family will be remembered as a place of unique and wonderful hospitality to so many people over the years. I remember Hedwig as a smiling, always working and productive center of the Family Home. She would bake bread, prepare the huge living room for fellowship afternoons or evenings, loved having company over. The Emke Home was welcoming so many people from Europe over the decades. I was one of them. I treasure the great times in their Home. It was filled with a warm atmosphere. Arnold and Hedwig Emke were a role model in terms of Christian examples.
Sorry to hear about your loss.
