Memories and Condolences
for Emily Emig
October 10, 2006
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Terry and Family,
You have never left our thoughts and prayers nor will you ever. This week I promised myself that I would say a few extra...The loss of a family member is with you forever... I just can't imagine it being a child... May God Bless you and Keep you! Know that we are here for you if you should ever need anything.
Love,

Dear Emig Family - I read the article in the paper this morning about 'Emily's Tree' and felt compelled to let you know how Emily touched my daughter's life.
Emily was her swim teacher on Saturday mornings for several years, helping her to become the good, strong swimmer that she is today at age 10. Emily was always excited to be there and encouraging to all the kids. Kate (my daughter) missed Emily when we 'graduated' from lessons, then was thrilled to see Emily volunteering in her class at Weigelstown Elementary.
Emily was a joy to see and made an impression on everyone around her. Our thoughts are with you this Christmas Day.

As I kept looking on the internet at the paper's website, and talking to my Mom to see if she heard anything, I kept thinking about Emily. I knew how much see wanted this to happen, and I just know even though she was not there sitting beside you lastnight, she was with you cheering you on.
If I was at home, I would have been there with you to help you celebrate in the victory. I am happy for you all and miss you much.
Love, Kimber

Terry,
So I see you came back to work at the park. I'm glad...Monday was a really rough day for me and it wasn't until i had the urge to re-read her xanga entry from October 6, 2005. Then all the memories came back. I miss her so much. Hersheypark just isn't the same without that smiling face of hers. Hope all is getting better with you and your family. See ya at work, hopefully soon.

Terry: As I voted this morning and pulled the lever at your name, I thought to myself, "this one's for you Emily". I know how hard she campaigned for you and wanted you to win this election. Every time I saw Emily, she would say to me, "vote for my Dad", and I assured her that I would. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of Emily and your family. You will be always in my thoughts and prayers.

Emig Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. It's not the same without her. I worked with Emily, and she became one of my best friends. I loved her very much. I never would of made it through the summer without her. I miss her. She was the most beautiful person inside and out I ever knew. May God be with all of you. Heaven was missing an angel.

I'll never forget the last time I talked with her. A wisp of her hair floating on the breeze the sun highlighting her gorgeous smile. She was so loved and will be greatly missed.
While the pain of your loss is still so fresh, we are praying that your tears of anguish will soon be replaced with smiles of rememberance. We are crying with you and praying for you all. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and be your source of unending comfort.

This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to write but it has also been the easiest because…“my Em” was one of the sweetest, kindest, most generous people I have ever known. Her smile will be forever etched in my mind. It was truly Jay's and my honor to have her as our niece..."our favorite niece" as she always said. When my daughter, Mandi (her cousin) and Chad got married she played the piano and flute and also graced us with her beautiful voice. When Jay and I were preparing things for our wedding, Emily designed and “stamped” the thank you notes. She also played the piano at our wedding. She enjoyed going to watch “her boys”…her cousin Justin(my son), Uncle Jay, friends Barnes, Wayne, Bob, Joey and Shank bowl. She also enjoyed just coming up to our house to “hang out” with us. When Em was at college she seemed to sense when I would be having a bad day because at 9:01 pm my phone would ring and it would be her calling me on her cell phone. She loved her family and friends unconditionally and she cherished all the time she could spend with them. Em always had a special way with children. She always enjoyed the time she spent with Paige and Audra (Mandi’s girls). I was fortunate to be able to spend some time with Em on the Wednesday night before her accident…she had gone to the bowling alley to see “her boys” bowl and then she came up to our house to see Joey and Angie’s 5 month old son, Cameron and to visit with me. The image of her sitting there holding and talking to Cameron will stay with me forever. Em will be missed more than she will ever know. I hope we can try to get through this tragedy with the knowledge that in the short time we had Em here with us that she touched so many lives in so many great ways. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of many people. Terry and Pam, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and loss that you are dealing with. I know your faith, family and friends will help get you through. I hope you know we will be there to help in any way we can. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. I love you Em and I will miss you greatly. You will NEVER be forgotten, as you will always have a special place in my heart....your Aunt Mel

Dear Pam, Terry, David, John, Shirley, Harold and Donny; I just wanted to express how very sorry I am for your loss. You have all been on my mind and in my prayers. Emily had such a vibrant personality and was always smiling! It is hard to understand why such a wonderful young lady with a bright future ahead of her was taken too soon. May you find comfort in your faith and memories. My heart was breaking for you all at her visitation on Thursday evening. It was evident though, through all the photos you shared that she led a wonderful active life and that you can be very proud of all of her accomplishments. She will always be with you in your hearts. God Bless you and your family.
Love, Bev, Scott, & Lexie Brunner

I was Emily's teacher in third grade. She always seemed to have a special light inside of her. She was always such a happy, bouncy girl. I will always remember her outgoing personality and her great big smile. I am certain that she touched many lives.

Dear Emig Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I went to highschool with Emily and had classes and chorus with her. She always had a smile on her face and always so hardworking. And whenever I had a question in class, she was always eager to help me. I will greatly miss her. She is in God's home now, the best home there is.

I knew Emily ever since middle school and she was a wonderful person. There wasn't a time that she didn't stop and have a conversation with me when she stopped in at Mack's. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

To the Emig family:
My deepest sympathies to you in your time of suffering. I met Emily last summer through a mutual friend and then had the privelege of working with her this summer at hersheypark. She was the reason I made it through the long days. Her smile and infectious laughter always managed to make me smile. No matter what kind of day she was having she always cared more about how I was doing. She touched the lives of everyone she encountered because she cared about all people including those she didnt know and was willing to do whatever she could to brighten their day. Emily truly was an angel in the flesh and will be greatly missed.
Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength.

Dear Emig Family,
I am very sorry to have heard about Emily. I've worked with Em for the past two years at Hersheypark. Em always had a positive outlook on life, and being around her only made it contagious for others to feel the same way. She was a joy to be around, and could always put a smile on your face. She will be deeply missed by many. My deepest condolences are with you as you go through this tough time.

Dear Emig Family:
I am so sorry for the loss of Emily. Even though we didm't know her that well, I knew she was a very special person from the way that Terry would talk about her and her accomplishments. She seemed to have such a bright and bubbly personality. I know your family was so proud of her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I didn't know Emily for very long but when I met her this summer at HersheyPark we instantly became friends. Her bright smile and awesome personality were just some of the many reasons that made her special. She always had a way to make me smile even on the worst of days when I thought it would never be possible. I was planning on visiting Clarion in November and was also planning on staying with Emily while I was there for the weekend. As soon as I heard the news I was instantly in shock. I would just like to offer my help and send my deepest sympathys to the Emig Family. Even though it may seem hard now the days will get better I promise.

Pam & Terry:
I am so sorry that you have to live every parents nightmare-the death of a child. I told my own daughters that Emily was a cheerful-bubbly young lady who always ran up to you(in the unit) to say Hi. Whenever she called she always sounded so happy. May we all have faith in the Lord that Emily is up in heaven, smiling down at all of us & playing her beautiful music that she so much loved, for all those children under God's care.

Terry, Pam, David and Jon,
Our hearts are broken for the loss of Emily and for your family. I really was looking forward to a visit with her on Fri. eve and was disappointed when she changed her plans...now I wish I had lingered on the phone a bit longer with her but at least I got to speak to her for just a short time. I believe that Emily was the friendliest girl that walked the halls of Dover High School. My first experiences with her were when she'd call out to me "Hi, Lindsay's Mom!" Gradually we progressed from "Mrs. Martin" to "Momma Martin" in the past few years. I'd be online and I'd get an IM from Emily... and we'd have a nice visit. You can take pride in the fact that you raised a beautiful, kind, daughter. She was a gift and a light to this world, a reminder of how we should treat people. Now she is with the Lord and she will be right there welcoming you the moment you enter heaven. Take heart in knowing that her kindnesses will shine bright in the hearts of everyone who knew her. Please know that the Lord is especially close to the brokenhearted and He WILL carry you through this. Call us anytime.
Love, Bev and Dennis Martin

3 years ago this past August was the day I met Emily. She bopped into my room not shy at all, but instead an excited freshman. Beside her were her parents and many questions about the ins and outs of college life. That night once her parents left, Emily stayed in my room for hours talking about her family. In just a short while I felt like I knew each family member for years and not the couple hours I heard about them. Emily was always a source of entertainment and a ball of energy! Since I only lived a couple doors down from her, Emily was always visiting. We had many nights of singing, laughing, crying, deep conversations, tv show watching, beauty salon, and so many more. One of my favorite memories was Emily coming to visit me at work and distracting me from my homework! She did a great job of sidetracking me and entertaining me, causing the hours to fly by. Emily has been one of my very good friends and I will truly miss her and everything about her. She was truly a wonderful person and if half the people would be like her, the world would be a better place. Emily will always be in my heart.

Emily was the first student our daughter Allison met last August on the day she moved into the dorm at Clarion University. Emily lived in the room next door. I remember how cheerful & friendly she was that day. She introduced herself immediately after we arrived. It sure was nice to be greeted by a smiling face! Before they moved into the apartment this year, Allison made the remark that Emily was one of the nicest persons you could ever meet. She will be greatly missed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all with his comfort and love.

Emily was always full of life and energy. My children loved to spend as much time with her as they could. She sang with her dad at my wedding which was a great honor to my husband and I. I feel very lucky and fortunate to have been related to her. Even though she was a cousin, she looked up to my other cousin and I as her older sister which meant a big deal to us. She will be missed by all because no matter where she was and is, she is always the life of the party. My family and I love and will miss her alot. My heart goes out to Uncle Terry, Aunt Pam, David and Jon. Love you all.

I could not begin to understand your feelings as a parent, however, I would like to reach out to your children. I lost my sister suddenly in March, so I know what they are going through. If there is anything that I can do please let me know. I do know that reading the entries on here are extremely helpful, people have a lot of loving and wonderful thoughts to share about their experiences with your daughter. Once again, I am truly sorry for your loss-find comfort that she is safe. Your family is in my heart and my thoughts.

Dear Pam Terry, David and John,
My heart breaks for you at your loss of Emily. You have been on my mind and in my prayers often throughout these last few days. I remember when Emily was in elementary school. She would always greet me with a hug, a broad, bright smile and a warm hello. Anywhere Emily went,you would find her smiling. Her positive attitude was contagious. What an awesome trait to have! Later, in years, I was blessed to continue to see that smile on Tues nights (piano lessons). I would be waiting for Heather's lessons to end and Emily was waiting for her lesson to begin. It was so cute to watch her as she would interact with her brothers as she waited for her lesson time. Emily's love for her family was so evident. I feel extremely privileged to have been a part of Emily's life. I look forward to the day when I can again see her bright, full smile and hear her warm hello. Please know
God is holding you in His arms. He promises to comfort you, give you peace and strength. He is as close as the air you breath. Just close your eyes and know He is there.
Love and prayers,
Lori (Porter) Kopp

What a shock, hearing about Emily was such a blow to everyone. Emily was like another daughter to me. Pam, you know I feel like you are a sister to me. We grew up together and Emily was like that with Val and Paula. She is really going to be missed, but she was loved so much as a daughter, a sister, and last but not least as a great friend. Just Keep looking to the Lord for strength and just remember that beautiful smile Emily always had on her face.

Three years ago, I moved into my dorm room where I found a young, energetic freshman girl so full of life. Little did I know, at that moment, I met one of the VERY BEST FRIENDS I will have my entire life. Emily and I share countless memories and I will hold them in my heart forever.
Mr. and Mrs. Emig, David, and John: THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing Emily with me and being so kind to me over the years. I send my deepest sympathies to you and all of your family. Emily was truely a special person and there is a hole in my life that no one will ever be able to fill. I just thank God for the time she was here and all the memories we have made.

My deepest sympathy to the Emig family. I went to High School with Emily and can remember that she always had a smile on her face. Whether she knew you or not, she would help you or talk to you. She would always help those who may not have been the nicest to her. I never would have thought anything like this would have happened to her. I will be praying over her and her family. May God be with you all and know that she is in a better place.

I am so sorry Mr. and Mrs. Emig. I worked with Emily at HersheyPark, and she was always a blessing to be around. She was always happy and always cheerful. She was always such an encouragement and managed to lift me up out of any hard situation. I'm praying for you and your family, knowing God will provide comfort and strength at a time like this.

Wow where do I start... Never imagined anything happening to Emily... i am so sorry Mr. and Mrs. Emig, I am also very sorry for the boys.. she loved her brothers... I had homeroom and so many classes with her since elemetry school... i seen her everyday and there wasn't a day that would go by she wouldnt talk about her brothers...Emily was always very close to the teachers, always trying to help them with something... I swear she took every home ec class and child care class in high school that she could... I remeber the time in child care class when we went to the daycare center she came up with some of the best ideas and fun things to do with them, the kids just loved her...
I guess I have nothing else to say other than she would help you no matter who you were... I wish I would have spent more time with her... I guess now all we have is memories...
I am so sorry, let god be with you and help you make it through...
