Life Member Emma Castro Dies |
To the Members and Friends of LVRS: It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the passing of Life Member of the Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad Emma Castro. Emma Castro joined LVRS in October 1965 as an auxiliary member and became a life member in March 1981 when the auxiliary disbanded. As Past Chief Al Good said in the letter congratulating her on attaining life membership status: "Your participation in the Auxiliary for these many years served the community and the squad well. It was always a pleasure to see your smiling face, along with all those "goodies" you seem to create at a moment's notice. For all those hard years of work and all that delicious food, we thank you."
