I was lucky enough to have worked with Emily for a year. I can’t possibly express what a wonderful, talented person Emily was. She loves her job and I I thought that surely she would become our CEO one day . She made everything look easy . If you wanted something- anything done - you asked Emily . My deepest sympathy . Emily was special.
Rosella and Tom, I am so very sorry for your loss. You used to babysit Ryan and Kaylin. I remember Emily when I would pick the kids up after working. I know how difficult it is to lose a child, we lost Kaylin in 2014 at the tender age of 22. Emily was such a sweet girl, quiet and respectful, I know her loss will be felt deeply. Please know that you are in my prayers at this time. God bless all of you and may Emily rest in peace. Lorri McCone

I had the privilege of spending time with Emily in college and beyond, where I met her through our friend Sam Rogers. Emily was always ready with a joke and a smile, and she was so much fun to be around. I'll always be grateful for the time I got to spend with her, and I will miss her quick-wittedness, our horror movie nights, our musical theater outings, and teaming up with her to pick on Sam. Emily is already so missed by so many, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Tom and family, my heart breaks for your loss. Keeping your family in prayer. May God's love give you strength and comfort through this difficult time.
Hello
I had a chance to meet Emily at one point in time at my good friend Jenny’s house and this was I think slightly after her initial diagnosis. She was a very warm and kind person and I felt close to her even though I had just met her. Jenny is a dear woman and was a close friend of Emily’s and this is devastating for her along with your family.
I just wanted to extend my condolences and sympathy at this tragic time.

My thoughts & prayers go out to Thomas & family & friends. May God see you thru this pain & loss.. Jan Below (Zima)
Emily was a great gift from God. Most certainly Heaven is rejoicing. She will live on in the kindness she has shared and the love she brought into our lives. I’m better for having known her. She shared her love of Harry Potter with me so “Wands up” for Emily, the dearest of friends and the most glorious of souls.
We are so very sorry on your loss of Emily! May your memories of her comfort your family & May she now rest in peace with no pain or suffering in God's Eternal Kingdom. 🙏 We will continue to keep your entire family in our sincerest thoughts & prayers🙏 May God comfort your family. Condolences. Karen & Yogi Chrudimsky
