    I only met Emma once while visiting her daughter, Fran. She was very kind to me and gifted me some of her beautiful knitted doilies and vintage handkerchiefs that she knew I collected. I am fortunate to own one of her gorgeous tablecloths as well. Fran was an excellent caregiver and daughter to her mom. Fran took care of Emma for years taking her to appointments, shopping being there with her when she was sick or recovering and I know that Emma was appreciative of that. Emma adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She most certainly will be missed as she has touched many lives.

    What a special friend and neighbor Emma was. We laughed, Talked and enjoyed each others company. She made special cookies for me and I made casseroles for her. She will stay in my heart forever.

    I was blessed to meet Emma while working at Curves. Emma brought me so much happiness. My mother was born in Ingolstadt, Germany and passed away when I was 18 years old. Emma reminded me so much of my mother. We had so many good times together. From going out to breakfast, luncheon’s and she will always be my liver and onion’s dinner date. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I am unable to attend her funeral today and I am terrible sorry for that. I feel very blessed to have a few of her dollies that she gifted me. I will always hold my memories of Emma so close to my heart. RIP, my sweet, sweet friend. Please give my mom a great big hug. Until we meet again.

Testimonials

December 18, 2024

Words cannot even begin to express the tremendous gratitude our family has for a team like the one at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematory. Thank you for the gentle lovely care over our mother Delia (Rosa) Balderas. Never having had a direct experience with a funeral home to this extent we didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t have a clue that they would step right in and have the most comforting team surrounding us that thought of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for anyone in our position. It was very evident from the first discussion on the phone that they were already well prepared to handle every little detail for us that we weren’t even aware would be required. Mark and his team truly eased so much of the unknown worries right out of our path, and left room for us to just focus on the small personal details we wanted for our mom. It was nice to know that all cost involved was in black and white on their site as well as on paper at our first meeting. Leaving no room for question or doubt what so ever with any fee involved. It was truly a blessing to have everything written out so well and simplified with various price range options in a time that we needed crystal clear direction. Its been beautiful to see that their care and service didn’t stop after our mom’s service came to an end. They continue to be in communication with immediate responses as questions arise along the way. God bless Mark, and the entire compassionate team, to be around to guide many many more for generations to come through life’s most difficult times. You are all truly amazing.
