I have such fond memories of growing up with Emily and Lisa and the whole family. I have fond memories of Emilys parents home also- i always felt welcomed at their home and the grandparents home . Emily was such a lovely person who cared for many people- my condolences to the family. Such sad news for them- but an angel gained in heaven.
