Sorry for your loss, I knew Emily through my clinical experience as an LPN when she worked on 2West. Her kindness and compassion for nursing students was always one of her many beautiful traits she exhibited. I would see her out in the community and continued to be the most friendliest nurse I have had the experience to know. Good bye my friend

I am so sorry for this tragic loss. There are no words right now that can take this pain away. She is so well loved by her friends and colleagues. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together. When she started working at the hospital, I remember my mom telling me stories about what a wonderful person and worker she was, how she was always so sweet to patients and everyone she met. Those stories continued for the last 15+ years.
Her life and love touched so many, and that is something we will all carry with us.

February 25, 2016

Prayers for your beautiful daughter, and for all of you.

I worked with Emily on Living Center North many years ago. Just last week our paths crossed in the ER when I was there with my Mom. She greeted me with such enthusiasm and we had a chance to catch up a bit. My heart goes out to her entire family. May they gather some strength in the knowledge of what a terrific person she was.

To Emily's entire family, I knew Emily briefly as a CNA and RN on 2 West, but gained so much respect for her as a nurse in the ED. She greeted everyone with compassion and determination that the "moment" of intense could and would be overcome. She loved her role in the ED and met each challenge as her mother had taught her. My heart goes out to all of you. RIP Emily and thank you for showing the true spirit of nursing. Sue Rolich
