Emily Motley

I'm truly sorry to hear this heart breaking news. I grew up with Emily in Bowie and have many fond memories of our childhood together on Ramsgate lane! My sincere condolences to the Ostrowski family. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. We grew
up with Emily and reconnected on Facebook years later! Thinking of your family during this time.

I had the pleasure of working with Emily and Jeff at the Argonaut - a small family owned restaurant and bar in DC. I loved them both, Jeff´s humor and Emily´s kind spirit. Emily and I often car pooled because we lived near each other. I am so sorry for your loss and I am sending so much love to Emily´s family and all who loved her. May her memory be a sweet blessing.

I met Emily the way many people met each other in Bowie back in the 80's, the neighborhood pool. She was always happy and family came first. She always looked after her sisters and brothers and seemed to do it effortlessly. Rest in peace Emily and smile down on us.

From the Williams Family - Fred, Sally, Stephen, Jennifer and Allison - of Bowie,MD... We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Emily´s family. Emily and our daughter, Allison, were classmates, friends, and buddies in a bit of good mischief :))) throughout their years together at St. Pius X school. Emily often came with our family and other friends to Dewey Beach to celebrate "schools out"! She also came with us to our small cabin on Moosehead Lake, Maine. Although Allison tried to prepare her for no running water or electricity, Emily was "in shock":))) she arrived & found it all to be true!! But being Emily, "shock" turned into laughter and we all had a wonderful and adventurous time together. We are smiling through our sadness. May she and her love continue their love together as they are raised up "On Eagle Wings". Peace.

Oh, I am so so sorry for this devastating loss of Emily such a sweet person. We lived in Bowie a couple doors up from the house and was the babysitter for a little while. We had so much fun! Love to all of you, Carole Ann & The Rodgers Family xoxo

We (Jim and Linda Radosevich) were grieved to learn of Emily´s passing, and our prayers now are for her parents and siblings. We knew Emily as a child in Bowie, Maryland, where we became acquainted with her and her family through St. Pius X church and school.

Emily and I worked side by side at McCormick & Schmick´s Seafood Restaurant on K Street in Washington DC. I´m heartbroken to hear this news. Emily was always such a sweet person and I know how much she appreciated me. My warmest condolences to Emily´s family and friends. She will be dearly missed.

To the Ostrowski family I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Emily. Oh my goodness I remember when I first met her when I was working with your mom Cindy at APM. you were truly a blessing and you lit up the room every time you walked in

rest in peace, my dear, sweet Emily.

Thank you Emily for all the joy, love and kindness you brought into the world. And all the many lives you touched. Thank you for your smile and your laughter. I am forever grateful for the friendship we shared together. May the Lord bless and keep you sweet Emily. Always your friend, Brian Roof

I will always remember Emily´s love for her family and her dedication. I remember her positivity and smile, brightening the room she entered. You could see and feel her kindness! May Emily and Jeff rest together with our Heavenly Father

We met years ago and we instantly bonded. We only had that one encounter but we stayed great friends. We would always comment on each other´s facebook posts and would message often.
Emily was sad to decline my wedding celebration and told me about her diagnosis. I continued to message but she stopped `seeing´ my posts. I knew something was wrong so I took a deep dive into trying to find any information. I went to her page and saw that she passed. Eight days after Jeff. I only met them both the one time but wow - they were the real deal. I find comfort that they are not in pain and are together. I´m also grateful that she did see and loved a message I sent, telling her I love her. I do and always will. I´ll see you one day, love

Emily was one of the first people to answer our call for photos to help us surprise our dad for his 70th birthday. She sent a photo of all of us at an Orioles game. We loved spending time with her and all of Karen´s friends from Holy Cross. I´m so sorry to all of her family and friends for this loss. She was kind and funny and hilarious. She will be missed. We know she is with the love of her life in heaven, and no longer suffering but that doesn´t make the loss any less painful You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Emily´s joy and laughter on her wedding day. Rest easy, sweet Emily. Sandy Wells and Tim McDonald
