This news of Emily's passing is very sad and tragic. I would like to extend my sympathy to her family as they struggle with this great loss. Emily was such a unique and special person, I will forever remember her fondly. Her parents were just wonderful people and always kind to me. My early years were enriched by my friendship with Emily. My condolences to all her family.
