Emma Hinkle Memories

This page will be filled with photos of Emma Justice Hinkle taken over the years with her children that she has lost and any other relatives that I have photos of.  She has so many good stories and I hope to add some of them soon.  Mom had fifteen children.  She lost Daddy when she was still carrying my younger brother, Keith so she had her hands full.  Mom lost her first child years before, she was a little girl and her name was Ruby.  I don't have any photos of her but Mom is 87 years old and when I ask her about Ruby not long ago, she said I still think about her and remember her.  A Mother never forgets.  Her pain is great and often unspeakable.

Roger was mom's oldest son and the first one she lost.    She had not even had time to deal with her pain of losing him when she lost her son, Bill in a terrible car accident just one month later.  Losing them both so close together was devastating but she has a strong faith in God and leans on him.

In 2014 we got the terrible news that our brother Russell had been diagnosed with cancer and it was already in the fourth stage.
God blessed us to be able to travel from West Virginia to Michigan in November to spend a few days with him and we are forever thankful for that time.  We lost him December 12, 2014.
Mom's nephew, Kenneth Ray Hinkle was more like a son that a nephew to her and whenever he came around, he always brought a smile with him.  Kenny Ray passed away on March  06, 2012.

Or a dance...
This is a photo of Mom, Emma Justice Hinkle taken with her brother Thurman Jusctice at one of her birthday parties.  Uncle Thurman passed away October 18, 2010.



Our brother, Curtis made his journey home on August 2, 2024 and I can just see Mom's smiling face when he walked into heaven to be with her and daddy.
