- Louis Emmi kisses his father good-bye a few minutes after he died last July in their Aurelius home. Anthony died in his living room, surrounded by his family. Natalie is still upset she nodded off just before he died. "He had such a beautiful death if death can be beautiful," Natalie said. "He slipped right away without a sound."
- In a way, this is what Anthony Emmi wanted, his body tended to at home by family and friends. Anthony's brother Al watches as funeral director and family friend Matt Cheche and Ron Oughterson prepare to wheel the body out of the Emmi's Aurelius home. When Natalie Emmi looks at this photograph now, she says it is comforting to know Anthony died on his own terms. "I felt sad and I felt glad it was done the way he wanted," Natalie said. "A hospital is so impersonal. But at home, he's got everybody around him. We were with him until the end."
- Hospice of the Finger Lakes nurse Marie-Louise Wyckoff comforts Anthony Emmi during a home visit last spring in Aurelius. Wyckoff was one of several Hospice employees and volunteers who helped Anthony and his family cope with his liver cancer. "I'm forever grateful for Hospice, because I never would have gotten through it without them," Anthony's wife Natalie said.
