What a lovely summary of Emmy and her approach to life. Living in Barron Park since 2003, I pass by Emmy's house daily either on bicycle or on dog walks and think of her nearly as often. I had the pleasure of meeting Emmy when needing to borrow a wheelchair for my visiting mother with a limited walking range. She offered and I was welcomed into her tidy, cheerful, energetic home. Even into her 90's I could see she radiated energy. It is no surprise that she When returning the wheelchair I had the good fortune of speaking with her son, who chuckled about his high school years. Paraphrasing, "Sometimes I would come home from Gunn and my friends and I would find my mother on the roof enjoying a glass of wine." In this busy modern life it is easy to speed through our days and miss sharing our curiosity and "itchy feet" experiences with our children. In this time of sheltering in place perhaps I'll haul my knitting or a good book up on the roof and raise a glass (of beer) to Emmy, adding to our own "remember when" stories. Thanks for sharing this remembrance, and hoping you are carrying on your mother's spirit.
