Cherished by 15 grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss their loving gramma Emma. Special aunt Em to caring nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Isobel and Byron Young and by her sister Marion Good. Emmalene had a long career as a teacher. She was well respected by her peers and adored by her pupils. She was a master gardener, talented musician, oil painter, story teller and home maker. Bedrock of the family farm. Special thanks to Dr. Kim for providing palliative care and to the Bayshore PSW’s and nurses. Also, to Dr. Daniel, longtime Doctor and friend.

Went to school with David. A few years back was touring down memory lane with my mother and just had to go down the lane to Lang’s pond. (So many good memories there) Ran into Emmalene out working at front of property. Had a wonderful chat and caught up with Brigden happenings. Such a nice surprise for me and such a nice person. Sorry for your great loss.

We offer our condolences to the Lang family. Memories of Mrs. Lang include her volunteering at Bridgen Public School when my kids were young with the reading program. I remember Evan coming home one day after having visited her with Wallace. He was so excited that she gave him money for reading a book.
