Thank you for giving us your wonderful daughter, my friend of 50+ years. She is loved and she loves you. KKKing

Em was my mother's dear friend: shared times at bridge, theater, & church. I often met them in NYC for lunch & theater or visited with Em when bridge was at Sabine Farm. Upon Mom's passing, I got to know Em better as I'd sit next to her in my mother's seat at church. I always enjoyed when her children visited. In time Bill, a dear family friend, became her "Driving Miss Daisy". I miss you both; wishing you many driving adventures with friends & family.

Emily leaves lasting memories to all she knew and wonderful thoughts of marvelous trips together.

Em was a delight to be around and an inspiration for who knew her. Smithies appreciated her energy, warmth and generosity of spirit as she opened her home(s) for so many Smith Club events. Also, she had the best, most creative ideas for our programs. Her loyalty to the College encouraged us to follow her lead in support and engagement. Like so many others in town, I loved visiting the Elements, and I treasure my purchases. With sincere condolences to the family, Susan Cohen
