I was a friend and roommate of Emily's in Nashville. I visited her in Spokane a few times. I was just thinking about her today and went to find her online. I am so sorry for your loss.

This is Meghan Keyes, I lived right next to you all on Mallon St in Spokane almost 6 years ago- when ever I went home I would drive past your home and wish you all were there so I could say hello- and then it just hit me to look up your mom and I saw this obituary. I am so sad to hear this news-

I am so sad to hear of Emily's passing. She has had a warm place in my heart since we met when we were very young growing up in Birmingham. We stayed in touch up until the last ten years despite the many miles between us. I often think of her and will remember her laughter always. I would love to one day meet her children. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
