Emily Smith

I am in the graduate program at Liberty University and have taken a class under Dr. Smith's leadership. At every class he had something very loving to say about his wife and a funny story about his four children. I never met Emily, but heard all about her and feel like I knew her from her Dad's conversations. My prayers are with the entire Smith family during this difficult time.

Thinking today of you all with a heart full of love.

Sonja,
Emily will always be in my heart. We had a very special bond. She was an inspiration to me and lots of fun to work with at FMS last year. My heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family.

I had the privilege of taking a class with Professor Smith, and it was obvious how much he loves his family. I'm praying that the Lord will give you deep comfort during this difficult time.

Dear Megan and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Emily's passing. I really feel fortunate to have known her. She always had the ability to make me smile and laugh. I will miss her joy.
- Love, Sarahann Schallmo

May Lord comfort you over your loss.Praying for you .Praying for you.

My daughter attended school with Emily. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

We are new to Lynchburg and the neighborhood. My daughter, Emily Ashworth, sat with Emily on the school bus every afternoon this fall and they would sing songs together. She loved Emily and misses her special friend on the bus. Your family is in our prayers.

Sonja,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I have already heard stories about what a wonderful person Emily was, and how she touched many, many lives. Thankfully, she is no longer suffering. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. The staff at New London Academy is thinking of you as well.
