I just want to assure the family that there is no doubt in my mind that my Dad (Nestor Lujan) will be at the gate to greet Emilie into Heaven and will take good care of her. My Dad thought the world of Emilie and I am sure that in no time at all the two will be running buses up there.

Emilie was a very giving and loving person who was not only good to my Dad, but also very good to my Mother before and after my Dad passed away. I will never forget that and will always be grateful to her for that! You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

A bright candle has just been extinguished. I liked her style, she knew what she wanted, and how to get it. I learned a lot from Emilie while I worked for her. We didn't always agree, but we got along fine. I will always remember her and miss her! Till we meet again, and we will! God Speed!

I had the pleasure of working with Emily and her husband, Gilbert, for many years during my tenures as Superintendent of PVS. They were both hard-working, honest people who ran an excellent bus service for PVS for many years. I will always remember Emily for her sharp mind and negotiating skills. We always came to amiable agreements for the benefit of safe and reliable transportation for the students. She also donated a lot of trips for special occasions that were not in her contract. Emily was a pioneer for successful business women in her era. I will always treasure her and Gilbert's friendship and association. Thank you Emily for everything you did for our students and the Pojoaque Valley community.

To Emilie's family and friends, I pray that Jesus wraps his arms around you as you grieve for your loss and pray that you can feel God's arms carrying Emelie home where she will gracefully wait for us to enter eternity with her. God Bless You
