Emily was so special. We hadn’t spoke in over a year but she was one of the first people I met at UT. I was so homesick and lonely and she made me feel like I finally had a friend. She radiated love and kindness. She truly was an angel on earth. She never knew but she truly impacted my life for the better. My deepest condolences and love.

When we are born we cry and the world rejoices; when we die we rejoice and the world cries. God had a special place in Heaven and chose your beautiful angel Emily to fill that special place.
God is with you in this time of sorrow.

Emily was one of the first people I met here at UT and she made me feel so much less homesick. She showed me that there were kind people at this school. Even though we hadn’t talked in around a year, Emily left a lasting impact on me with her kind and caring soul. She truly was an angel on earth. My deepest sympathies.
