Emily, I am so sorry for your loss. Although you do not know me, I feel like I know you through your father. I met your father 5 years ago and we kept in touch throughout the years, either through emails or occassionally dinners. You meant the world to him, he talked about you all of the time and he was so very proud of you. You were #1 to him in every decision he ever made. He was a great guy, great father, great singer, great dancer with a wonderful sense of humor. We shared some very memorable times. He has always been on my mind throughout the years, he has touched my heart and will always have his own special place tucked away in my heart and soul. He is now your angel who will always be looking out for you. Take care.

Hi Emily!

Your dad and I became penpals off the Match.com website last November. I read his profile and was attracted to him by his honesty and sense of humor. We shared jokes, his worry for you, frustration as his cancer progressed and chatted about alternative treatments as I am in a similar boat as your Dad. He will be my role model for I hope that I have half the strength to fight that your Dad had. He was very brave-what a battle he fought! I am deeply honored to have gotten the opportunity to meet him, albeit not face-to-face. I believe that each person you meet has an effect on who you are as a person, on your character...whether profound or insignificant. Every single day of your life your Dad will be with you. You might not be able to see him, or hear him, but he is right there...he's got your back covered...he's loving you and comforting you and challenging you to be the best person you can be when Life is getting tough on you. He lives on through you. You are his legacy, Em....make him proud!!!

Hi emily,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. You are as important to us as family, because you truly are part of our family. We will never forget all the great times with you. If you are ever low on GREEKIN noodles we will have them for you, along with much love.

We love you,

p.s. Hey Emmy, it is so true that you are like a sister to me and i love you with all my heart. I remember the times i have had with you and your dad and ohh the list goes on of all the wonderful things you have told me. Thank you for being there for me and I will return the favor by always being there for you.

Hi Jim, I remember when you took Emily and I to Darien Lake. Ooddles of fun. My favorite ride is the superman, probably because it reminds me of you a super man and Emily's most prized possession, a extraordinary father.

Thank you for the great times,

Mo <3
