Dear Klucznik Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I write this letter letting you know that I am sorry for your loss. Emily was a wonderful, joyful and sweet woman,who bought smiles to my face everytime I would see her, I remember walking around the floor with Emily on her last admission to the hospital, she would always give me trouble and smile, and I would do the same to her, we were like two little kids on the playground. I will miss Emily. For the rest of the family, please take care of yourselves and remember that Emily is always looking down on us.

Dear Klucznik Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I write this. I cannot begin to tell you how devastated I was to hear of your loss.
Emily was the BEST SPORTS PARENT ever!!! I can say this first-hand, she was always there helping me with the children either on the field or at the hockey rink. Never complaining, always the first one to offer a helping hand by supplying the juice, preparing the handout sheets and just being the cheering section at the games.
Emily, along with our families have grown up together in the Riverside Community, we becoming friends through the sports programs. Soccer was the first sport that brought us together, I can still remember little Emily and Brohen running around together along with the other children.
Brohen along with me will miss her cheerful face and pleasant personality (on the sidelines) rooting her teams on.
If there is anything we can do for you…do not hesitate to call. I know she is in heaven looking down from the stands, with her Red & White on, shouting for a VICTORY!
As ever,
Valerie, Darko, Brohen, Darko Jr.

Emily, life is so unfair. Any one who had the good fortune to know you had to be touched by your love, compassion and
concern for everyone but yourself. You truly put others first. I will always be appreciative of the genuine concern and interest you always showed for me and my family. Although we didn't see each other often you touched my heart and I was very proud that you were my cousin. My deepest sypathies to your Mom and your family in this difficult time.
