I was crushed to hear of Emily's passing. Having worked with her at Martin Guitar I can honestly say that she was the sweetest, brightest, fun loving person that you could ever want to meet. She lit up a room. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to her family and the large circle of friends that loved here dearly. Emily will be greatly missed by all.....

Nancy and Laura,
Olivia and I were so saddened to hear of Emily's passing. She was such a joy when we moved to the neighborhood. Olivia just loved her, as did I. I remember seeing her a few years ago and she came right up to me and hugged me like it was yesterday.

I'm sure she is resting peacefully with "Mr. Pete".
May her light shine eternal in your hearts and all of those who knew her. May you know God's presence and His peace in the upcoming months.

Love ,
Kate and Olivia Rosati
