Emily was my girl.
( she had a gift. she made everyone feel like they were good friends.)
We not only worked in the trenches in the bar business, but also went to nursing school together. She was an incredible woman. She had a beautiful inner beauty that made you feel lucky to be her friend, made you feel a little better during a hard day, made you feel privileged for her listening to your silly life stories.
I pray for comfort for her family,,,, great folks..,,.
I just want to express how much I loved her. i miss her, already. I/we were blessed to have gotten to share in her warmth of that little fireball. Rest in peace, my friend.
Emalee, I will always think of you and what I learned from you in our short time together. Your ability to laugh and continue to love life. You never complained, ever. You always wanted to find joy in the day and find something positive about it. Your strength and courage were like no other I have ever known. I will miss you dear friend. God speed. May you rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Em always had the most addictive laugh that would brighten up the room. Our last text message will remain with me forever. That “hey girl” introduction will forever be missed. Rest peacefully hun.
