GOLDEN BOY

Golden boy, our pride and joy,

He no longer reigns in this sphere,

yet leaves behind memories kind

of love, laughter and good cheer.

Smiling through his tragic end

A boy-man, with the most amazing circle of friends, pierced our hearts, brandished our souls,

for the loss of a love- a mystery that has travelled to loftier abodes.

Only 27 Earthly years,

He is now in heaven-

sans pain, fear and tears...

I look forward to the day we meet again...

For He is our Golden Boy,

My dear brother and jovial friend.

With love to my baby brother,

Emery Paul Kalinov- "EM"

Always,

Your big sister,

Vivian- "VIV"

Emery is very special to me. I met him back in 1992 when I worked at Napolis.(down the street from his house) He was so charming and and so cute! Every time I saw him I would always hug him and tell him how special he was to me. I saw him at Randalls back in June. I am glad I got to tell him again. I will never forget you Emery!

Emery was the kid that I wish I had as my little brother. Even if he was taller than me, I looked up to him for a entirely different reason. Both he and his brother were more my friends than they will ever know.

I remember Emery walking into a play rehearsal for " You Can't take it with You"-Tall, Lanky, freckle-faced, and that infectious smile. The play was horrible, but the rehearsals were enlightening. Emery opened my eyes to beautiful music, engaging writers, and was a brother in a loving philosophy of living. May those lip-curled pearly whites continue to enlighten us all.
