I loved taking care of Emily, and getting to know Lydia and Caroline. Emily was a wonderfully intelligent women whom I will always admire

I knew Emily through the art critique group that she participated in for several years in Lexington, Ma. . Her many passions continued throughout her years: She loved to paint cats and other wild animals. I am sure that her contributions will be remembered for a very long time.

May her family find peace and warmth in her many interests as a professional in a variety of creative, technical and social justice endeavors. In the many days and months ahead, may Emily's family find comfort in her memory.
