Emily Ann Berkeley

God bless those who love you, Emily. You were a spitfire in your personality and loyal to those you cared about most. I know that you are greatly missed! May the joy of fond memories never be forgotten by each of us who were blessed enough to be in your presence.

May God bless each and every family member and friend of Emily’s! She is with you now and forever, Father in Heaven!

Emily,

I am blessed to have known you. I thank our friend, Turner, for that. I remember you as being extremely confident, and certainly full of 'life'. What I always appreciated about you was your willingness to associate with anybody. You were 'sassy', yet so down to earth. I know you are smiling down from Heaven as I say these words.

When I began teaching, Emily was the first student to introduce herself to me. Even though it has been 23 years, I remember her well. I remember her great smile and a wisdom well beyond her 14 years. She was energetic, funny, intelligent, involved, and caring. It does not surprise me that she became the successful, well loved and well respected woman she was. Emily will be missed, but she will live on in the fond memories of all that she touched. My thought and prayers are with you.

Berkeley Family and Lee... I am so sorry for your loss. Emily was the first person I met at Lake Forest College. We shared a dorm room freshman year. She was a smart and adventurous person. She always spoke so fondly of her family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I met Emily just a short time ago. I had the opportunity (and honor) to work with her - she had just come to our firm as a new associate and she brought a wonderful energy and sense of adventure to the place - we all had to laugh when she showed off her new yellow jump suit and strutted around the office while wearing it. We hit it off instantly and I liked working with her very much. With a very HEAVY heart, we said goodbye to Emily yesterday, but she will never be forgotten.

Emily and her husband used to come into my Starbucks every morning

I met Emily for the first time just weeks ago. I went to a skydiving party and I myself and not a skydiver. She was the first person to introduce herself and spent the entire night making us feel comfortable. Even though I met her only that one time it is so hard to believe that she is gone! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
