Please accept my love and prayers in this time of loss. I miss you all and look forward to a time where we can be together again. I have many wonderful memories of our childhood together, and I wonder how I got so old so fast. The older I get the smarter our parents are... I feel that I'm letting you all down, but I am not able to attend the service. I will be making a donation to Hospice and the Food Bank in honor of Aunt Emilie's memory. Again, I love you all and know that the prayers to keep you and protect you are and will continue to be answered.

Dear Eric and Family,
There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. I am so sorry for your loss.
Even though we only talked every couple of months, there wasn't a day that went by without my thinking of her. She was only in my life for a few short years, but I felt as though it had been forever. When we found out that we shared the same birthday, how excited we both were and the more we talked, the more we found we had in common. Sometimes we would spend hours on the phone talking, how I will miss that. If only we had found each other when we were younger, just think of all the fun we would have had.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Emilie will always be a part of me. I loved her very much and will miss her always.
I am so sorry we can't be there for the memorial, but will be there in spirit.
Love, Roy and Sharen
