Dear Staller Family,
You have our sincere condolences. We were so blessed to have had Emma Lee as a friend for so many years. I especially enjoyed our visits when I did her taxes. We were blessed when we were able to visit with her this spring at the Twelve Mile Alumni. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you during trying time. Cannot imagine what Heaven is like with both Emma Lee and Phyllis Johnson together. Someday we will know and will be praising God together. Sending prayers from Florida.
Expression of Sympathy

Mrs. Staller was a very good teacher. I remember that at the end of the year in her English class, while handing out the finial grades to be promoted to the next grade level, if she stopped at your desk, you failed. She paused by my desk, my heart sank, then she gave me a smile and continued on! Thinking of her family while they go through this time of loss. xoxo

Nila, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Someone gave me this saying when my Mom passed and I hope it helps you as much as it did me. "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." - author unknown
Take care Nila! ((HUGS))

I was very saddened to hear of Emma's passing.
I taught at Pioneer and always felt fortunate to have known such a caring woman.
Emma was my colleague, but more importantly, a dear friend.
I shared many laughs with Emma and have wonderful memories of her.
I am blessed to have had her in my life.
God Bless all of you at this difficult time. Ann

I had the privilege of starting my teaching career while Emma was at Pioneer and I learned from the best. Emma was tough an demanding but she had a heart of gold. She truly cared for her students. I also remember her quick wit and her sense of humor.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all who knew and loved Emma. We will miss her greatly.
