My deepest sympathy to you and all your family. I was so saddened to hear of Emily's passing. I had the great pleasure of working with Emily for over 3 years in the Endo department at STPH. I always enjoyed working along side of her. I will forever remember her spunky spirit, her warmth, her great humor and how hard she always worked. May God Bless Her and All of You,
