I would like to extend my deepest condolences on the loss of Emily.
I used to work at Union State Bank here in Winterset, and had the privilege of knowing her through the bank.
I was on a few of the same trips that she was with the bank, and she was always fun. She had a sharp wit and a great sense of humor!
She will certainly be missed by all who knew her.
My sympathy to all of you, Darcey Paullin

Jeff & Jamie,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I know it has been a long time since I have seen either of you, but I still have some fond memories of our childhood and spending time with your family growing up here in Cedar Falls.
I know that Emily was a source of support for my mother over the years and a good friend. I remember Emily as a very kind and caring person.
I wish I could make the short trip to Des Moines Wednesday, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you cope with your loss.
Sincerely,
Steve
