Emma is my Great-Grandmother, she died when I was only 6 years old. The clearest memories I have of her are of her cooking. She lived close to us & I saw her often and she seemed to always be in the kitchen. She was a great cook & to this day I make her Lefse (Norwegian flat bread that looks like a tortilla but is made with potato's). I remember the only time I would see her without a apron was at church on Sundays. She attended church at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Torrance. I wish I had known her longer but the time I had with her I will never forget.
