EMILY SEARCY Obituary

Emily Ann Searcy "Our Little Princess" 8/28/2005 ~ 7/30/2010 "Our little Princess," Emily Ann, passed away Friday night after a swimming accident on Thursday.Emily will be remembered as a joyous spirit that always brightened every situation no matter what was going on. Emily's inquisitive nature of always asking "why" was usually the beginning of her next adventure. Mommy and Daddy found great joy in finding answers to satisfy Emily's curiosity, which was occasionally difficult, since she had a keen attention to detail and seemed to be curious about everything. Emily loved to learn, draw, paint, sing, dance, brush her teeth, and also change her clothes all in the name of "FASHION" or "GLAMOUR." Even in her fanciest dress or skirt, she still loved to go outside and get dirty with the boys because "Princesses can do it too." Using her sweet little voice that could barely contain excitement, Emily would widen her eyes and move her hands about as she applied her extraordinary imagination to stories that were so elaborate, she could captivate her audiences for hours. She loved to go fishing and camping with family especially her PAPA Scotty. Emily leaves behind her loving family including her big sister Aubrey, little brother Bailey, Mommy and Daddy, Chiya and David, Papa Scotty, Grama Liz, Papa Tracy, Grandma Shell, Papa Tom and many loving Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Emily will be dearly missed by all who love her and thoughts of her will be with us each day. Nothing will keep our little Princess from doing and learning anything and everything that her adventurous mind wants to do. A funeral will be held Thursday, August 5, 2010, 10:00 a.m at the Lakeridge 4th Ward, 3151 South 7700 West. Friends and family may call Wednesday, 6-8 p.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road and Thursday at the church, 9-9:45 a.m. Interment, Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.

For the family,
I was devastated to hear the horrible news of the loss of our precious Emily on Monday. I am truly sorry for your loss. Emily was such a beautiful little girl with the brightest smile always. I was blessed to have been able to see her daily as I took my Tamaurus to daycare. She was always so excited to see him, running up to greet him with a hug in the mornings. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.

Sweet Emily,
Thanks for being a wonderful friend for all at the daycare! Everyone will talk of you often and remember your loving sweet smile! Tamaurus loves you and will always remember you!

Aubrey and Bailey,
I hope you have the sweetest memories of your sister. Your parents will always share with you the memories made with Emily while she was here on this earth. She will be your guardian angel now and will always be near you.

My love to you all always,
Melissa and Tamaurus

"GODS LENT CHILD" I"LL lend you for a little time a child of mine, said god for you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she"s dead.IT may be six or seven years,or twenty-two or three. But will you till I call her back, take care of her for me? She"ll bring her charms to gladden you and shall her stay be brief, you"ll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I can not promise she will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there,I want this child to learn. I"ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true. And from the throngs that crowd lifes lane,I have selected you. Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call, to take her back again. I fancied that I herd them say:Dear Lord thy will be done, for all the joy thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we"ll run. We"ll shelter her with tenderness. We"ll love her while we may, and for the happiness we"ve known. Forever grateful stay" But shall the angels call for her, much sooner than we"ve planed,"WE"ll brave the bitter grief, that comes and try to understand"

To the family of little Emily,
My two boys attended daycare with your beautiful little girl. Thomas absolutely adored her, and told me that she was his "girlfriend". He has been talking about her a lot, and I believe they have a special connection. The few times I was graced with the opportunity to interact with your Emily, she made me smile right away. She is missed and will always be remembered. God bless you with comfort and strength in the face of this tradgedy. Hugs and love, Barbara, Calvin & Thomas Head

EMILY
When God calls little children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question the Wisdom of his Love.
For no heartache compares with
The death of a small child,
Who does so much to make
Our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So he picks on a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
So he only takes a few,
To make the land of Heaven,
One beautiful of view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still sometimes we must try,
The two saddest words mankind know
Will always be good-bye.
So when a child departs,
We who are left behind,
Must realize,
God Loves Children, Angels are hard to find.
