I am Emma Weber,s grandfather. Her mother Deirdre was an all star high school soccor player and runner division one at University of Richman and her great grandmother Louise Weigel (Atwill) was an olympic figure skater in the 1932 and 1936 Olympics. She was known as Honey and I am sure she was with Emma the last few days and forever.
