I will never forget watching Batman (1989) for the very first time with Grandma. That was my first exposure to live action Batman and I was in awe. She even made me a cape so I could become my favorite superhero. She was the best grandmother ever.
Emma you are and will be missed terribly. You watched my daughters grow from babies into young ladies. They loved you so very much and well as Tom and i did. I am so grateful that the girls got to visit with you just after mothers day. The joy and love you had in your eyes was just amazing. We are also so honored to have been invited to your 90th birthday. You looked so surprised. Jadyn has her card and your picture in her book and i cant wait to give Kaya hers. It was awesome for the girls to hear you say you lived them the last time we saw you. We love you so much Emma!!!! Love forever Jadyn,Kaya,Tom & Roxanne Thornburgh
MomMom was the true Matriarch of our family. She led by example and was always there to lend a helping hand....and most importantly was always the one to cut the birthday cake...lol. I will always cherish the time and assistance she gave Macy and Logan while they were babies. We couldn’t have done it without her! That time created undeniable bonds. We love you MomMom and we will hold you forever in our hearts.
Every moment of every day was a special memory of my Grandmom. Spending every weekend with her when I was a kid was the best not just because I was with her but my Grandpop too. Talking with her almost every day, playing Snapchat and the specials times we spent together, dinners, shopping etc. she will truly be missed
The most predominant memory I have with Emma was the time she came to visit Donna and I when we lived in Texas. We took her out on our boat one day, took her to see Cadillac Ranch, and other fun things. The best memory of all was giving her a ride on my motorcycle. She was absolutely thrilled and wasn't scared at all! She was the best mother-in-law that I could have ever hoped for and genuinely loved everyone. I will always cherish the memories I have of her and will miss her terribly.
Diane, Rick and family lit a candle in memory of Emma Schmalbach. We love you so, Rest in Peace.
I am brokenhearted that Emma is gone. She was one of the most caring, loving and understanding people that I've ever met. She possessed the unique combination of gentle spirit and spunk! She meant so much to me and to my dad; my life is better having known her. I love you Emma and I will miss you forever. Love, Susan
