Emily's friends at Wallace school will always miss her smiling face. My heart goes out to the family of the little gem of a girl.

My family's deepest sympathy to Emily's family. I teach as a substitute Sunday School teacher at Christian Fellowship where She and Jillian and their Granmother attend.Emily always seemed to be on the edge of her seat listening. She has always had a special place in my heart. (the way she would giggle at everything my son did probably won big brownie points!)She really seemed to be interested in all the bible had to say. Looking back I wonder if God had put it in her heart to believe knowing time would be short. All who knew her adored her and our entire church will be praying for her family and especially little Jill who just clung to her.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Emily's family not only did I know her from school. But she also played on my block with my children. She was a sweet girl and she will be missed by many.
