It’s hard to believe you’ve been gone for almost a month Emalinn. I still think about what happened to you every day. It’s not fair. You were so young and there were so many things you wanted to do in life that you’ll never get the chance to. I miss you so much. I wish we could have had more time.

Emalinn I know we didn’t know each other for very long, but you were one of my best friends at college. I loved getting to talk with you about fantasy and marine biology and so many other things. I miss you so much. You were always so cool.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sorry for your loss, we are praying for the family .
