Dear Todd, Susan and Sarah,
This news is heartbreaking. One of the best things about teaching at Stratford was the opportunity to know Emily. She was warm and funny and over the years I was always happy to see her smiling face. Larry joins me in sending our deepest sympathies to all of you.

Todd,
I am so sorry to hear about Emily. I cannot express the sorrow I feel for the loss of one of my best friends from long ago. Nothing I can say will help with the loss you and your girls feel, but know that I and my family will pray for you and them. Emily will need no prayers. She was destined for heaven from Day One.
