Emily Kate Bethke

I just heard the sad news. For the last year and half Emily cut my hair. I always enjoyed my monthly visits. Emily always had a glowing smile and knew exactly how i liked my hair cut. We would just talk and laugh the whole time. She will be missed.

On behalf of everyone in Emily's social work class our deepest sympathies to her family. She brought a lot to our classroom with her friendly smile which we will always remember and cherish, her Harry Potter t-shirt, her beautiful hair - she was a warm human being with a passion for social work. She volunteered at the Marion House Soup Kitchen here in Colorado Springs and she impacted our community through her volunteer work with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. She will be missed.

Emily cut my hair for the past several years, gave my daughter her first haircut (we have pictures), came to the house to cut our hair when she was between employers, celebrated the birth of our second child with us, and always provided stimulating conversation while I was in the chair. I will miss her so much. I never met her friends, heard some about her family, and always enjoyed hearing about her studies, travels, and thoughts. God bless her and her family and friends.
Dr. Tom...

Emily you are one amazing woman. I miss you so much. You will live forever in my heart. I Love you.

It's been 10 years since Emily and I have spoken, but I still remember all of the weekends she spent at my house, and all of the really fun times we had. I am saddened to hear about her passing, and know that she will be really missed, and was loved by a lot of people.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Emily's passing. It has been over 10 years since the last time I saw her, but only have positive memories of her. She was a beautiful person and I am truly sorry for her friends and family.

I only met Emily once when she was a young child. From reading her life story it is obvious that she grew up to be a beautiful young woman who comforted and inspired others. May your abundant memories of her soften your grief and may you cherish the hope that you will be reunited again in heaven. My prayers are with your family at this challenging time in your lives.

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear of your daughters passing.My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad and difficult time. The death of a child is the hardest thing you will ever go through. God Bless you and your family.

Emily was a really good friend of mine years back, and I am sad to say we lost touch when she moved to colorado. She was a wonderfully bright and funny person. I miss her already and my heart goes out to her family and closest friends.
