Emily was full of joy even during her battle with cancer. Our business exchange network BEN was inspired by her enthusiasm, energy, and compassion over the years. May the thoughts and prayers of friends and loved ones comfort those who were touched by Emily. I will think of her everytime I light a candle. Love & Prayers.
