Was there when she was born. I remember Lori's dog Susie barking around a circle as she couldn't stop laughing. So sorry to hear

Earl, Danna, and family,

Words cannot describe how deeply saddened I am of your loss. Emily was one of best students I ever had in my 25 years of teaching Instrumental Music. Many people say that teachers have a profound impact on students, but she had profound impact on me. She was always wanted to have the highest expectations for herself in everything that she did and she would not settle for anything less. She challenged me to become a better teacher because of her expectations and I will never forget that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of need.
