I just heard about your passing. I remember you rocking out the Roberta monologue in summer drama class. Emily, you always made me laugh and you were so real. You had this spark about you, just creative. Emily, I know you are having sweet dreams. You've earned them AB

Dear Teresa, Leon, Noah and Miriam,
My heart is with you as you experience the pain of your recent loss. I will always remember Emily as she was when she attended Falk School and was a part of our daughter Lindsey's Girl Scout troop. Her sweet smile, beautiful, curious eyes and her kind nature drew others to her. I remember when she awoke in the middle of the night at Lindsey's birthday party in the second grade. After bravely trying to make it through the night, she was relieved when her dad came to take her in his arms and carry her to the car to go home. May it comfort you to know that Emily had a presence that stays with so many who knew her and that you will be in our prayers.
