I knew Emily by way of a middle eastern dance group that I led at Stanton Hall after I had lived in Huntington a year or so. She brought light and happiness to our group as we danced with joy and freedom together. I still feel her loss. I actually don't have any words that describe how I feel. But I wanted to send this.

BARBARA AND RICHARD FONTAINE

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Sometimes situations are worse than we could ever imagine... Surprises aren't always pleasant and there's more disappointment dropped at our feet than we can handle. But out of those droppings sprout growth of our souls. There are things I wish would never have happened, I can only have hope, faith and belief that whatever the outcome, it's all for the better. I pray.

Sincere condolences

I can only pray that in time... the loving memories of her that will forever live in your heart... will heal the pain of your loss.
Gone but "never" forgotten.

The condolence of mere words seems thin and shallow for so deep a pain. We did not know Emily, but there are no strangers in the Hilltowns, not at times like this. May the gentle palms of your daughter's spirit be there to catch your heart when it falls. May she help you breathe in the coming days, and may memories of her ring like bells of laughter against the sorrow of her passing. And while Emily is no longer fixed to earth's limits, she will remain forever tethered to you because of the love you shared.

Sue Diom

February 21, 2012

We don't even know how to tell you how devastated we are at Emily's death...she was such a stable, sweet girl and we as parents are learning so much more about her. Don't need to tell you all to be so proud of her and you cannot know how you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Ashlin carries so much of Emily with her and it looks like Emily may bring this disgruntled class of 2012 together. Just one little thing you should be proud of your incredible girl.Ash has a cousin that was treated incredibly by Shriners, so it is our honor to make a donation to them in Emily's honor. If we can do anything for you, let us know please.

With love, sympathy and honor,
