I only saw Emily occasionally when visiting my grandfather at Deerfield, but she was always wonderful company. She was a truly incredible person and never failed to encourage and inspire me during our chats. I just wanted to send my condolences to Emily's family and let them know she is in my thoughts.

Emily was a wonderful friend and I so enjoyed her company. Blair and my husband, Ed, both worked for Caterpillar and that is what brought us together. After I moved we exchanged long emails and often talked on Skype. We had lunch together with our mutual friend just before Christmas when I visited Asheville. I'll miss you, Emily. Thanks for everything.

I am deeply saddened to read that I will not see Emily's bright smile and warm greeting again! For most of our retirement years in Asheville, Emily and Blair were active in things of joy,,,College for Seniors, Diana Wortham Theatre, etc. And, I tried to help her with her Macintosh. Best wishes in this sad time to the family.

I didn't know her but her obit proves that she was a delightful lady! Anon in Connecticut

Cindy and Ellen, we send our deepest condolences. We are so saddened. I just corresponded with Emily during the holidays and she and I had so much more to talk about. She was such a big help in filling in the unknowns about my family's history in the Carribean and in South America. It seems like yesterday when she visited us after Thanksgiving. I can't believe she's gone!
