“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

My dearest first born where do I begin? How do I say good-bye for now. Emilie I prayed so hard for you. I wanted a baby more than anything and God gave me to you. Daddy and I dedicated you to the Lord as a baby and at 8 you prayed and asked Jesus into your heart. You and Olivia were baptized together. You loved Jesus so much as a little girl. God gave you the gift of such a beautiful voice, yet you were so shy with it. You loved your horses, Flip, and showing him. You were always in charge, boy you could boss your sisters around. You were a leader my sweet girl, I don’t know what changed and when the struggles all started, it is such a blur now. You chose friends that weren’t good for you, and seemed to attract them. Then that special day we sat in Dr. Stephens office and we found out you were having Marlie, I knew life had changed forever. I had hoped that the bad days were gone and a new life of you, Marlie and Travis was going to begin. You were a mommy now. Sweet, sweet Emilie you struggled so to stay away from the drugs and what was wrong for you. Daddy and I would see glimmers of hope, you tried, I know in my heart you battled the demons so and tried. There is no more battle, there are no more demons, there is no more pain in your feet, you are with your heavenly Father and until I can hold you again, all my love my dear child. – Mom
Jeff (Dad)
My first born daughter Emily passed into eternity ahead of her dad and this should not be, but sadly is. I didn’t give up on her and she didn’t give up either, but she was unexpectedly called home, and she went. Being a believer in Christ doesn’t make you perfect or infallible, as she and I exemplify. What does give you a hope in a future bought by grace and accessed through simple child like faith. I promised time beyond time when you will know as you are known, walking again with the Father as his friend in a new eden. I fully believe that I will see her again, and later be waiting with her to greet her daughter now left behind. I am going to miss my little girl every moment we’re apart. I will await the Fathers call, it is good with my soul.

Brown Stain,
From the day I came into this world you were my best friend. Though you wanted to trade me for a bike a couple days after I was born, Mom and Dad told you no and so you turned me into your life size baby doll. Always telling me what to do, wear and what doll I was aloud to play with. For the first 13 years of my life I knew nothing but you. You were my best friend, partner in crime and my go to. Whenever I had a problem you were there to solve it. I never went anywhere without your approval or with you by my side. I looked up to you and craved to be like you. You had this personality that could light up a room and lived with no fear to say what you felt. We may have grown apart as we got older, but you were always there when I needed you. We fought like hell, tormented and were extremely tough on each other but what are sisters for? Not a day of this life will go on without seeing your face or hearing your laugh in everything I do. Things won’t be the same and our roast of a Thanksgiving dinner, it won’t nearly be as funny without your unfiltered comments. I promise to hold your daughter tight and guide her through her life time. Though you left us early, she will never not know who you are and everything about you. I’ve never been so jealous of you for getting to go home so soon without me. It’s like high school all over again, I can’t sneak up there with you. I want nothing more than to share one more day, story and laugh with you. The last time I saw you was the 4th of July. You wanted to come over so bad and I almost didn’t let you. I’m so happy I did and we shared such a great time. You got to see my house and I was able to hug you and tell you I loved you. We were planning a skating night for when you got out and I wish so badly we could of done that before you had to leave us. I know you’ll keep everyone occupied till I arrive though and I find peace in knowing you’re living free. I miss you already and can’t wait to hug you tight. Love you so much Emilie Brown Stain. xo Liv

Brown Steen,
You were one of my best friends, worst enemies but most importantly my big sister. You knew how to get under my skin better than anyone but could make me laugh so hard I thought I’d have a six pack by the time I was done. I will never forget the memories we shared from the fights to jamming out in the car, but our beach days were definitely my favorite. I can’t remember a time you didn’t have my back, family was everything to you. You made a major impact in my life and I’ll never forget the lessons you taught me. I love you so much sissy and I know you’ll be waiting for me at the golden gates. “sisters by chance, friends by choice” – Maddie
Mollie (sister)
Emilie I’m sitting here trying to write this to you and I have no idea what to say. You and I weren’t close when we were younger there were too many years between us. I do remember every boyfriend that you would bring home and I would tease and torment. That’s what little sisters should do! My funniest memory is when you peed on Olivia on the slip and slide causing me to fall face first onto the concrete. Not funny then!
Emilie the last few years were hard, as I got older I pushed you away out of fear of being hurt by everything you did, but now I’ll never get the chance to make those memories or take those pictures. I will forever remember the last time I saw you on Fathers Day. Dad didn’t know I had my nose pierced, but you as usual with no filter, yelled across the table, “Mollie when did you get your nose pierced?!” Dad turned red and mom said “Well at least it wasn’t a tattoo.” I thought you looked really pretty that day, I didn’t tell you but I wish I would have because you seemed to always listen to me. We could go on and on about the horses, new books we had read, Netflix shows and Harry Potter all the time. You loved reptiles ALMOST as much as i did.
Oh I would complain constantly every time you would ask me to braid your hair, but now I would love to have you barge into my room and demand I braid you hair! Emilie I can still see your smile, I can hear you call my name or laugh and smile. It feels like I’m being ripped apart every time. It’s hard to believe you won’t be at our annual Christmas Eve dinner at the Mexican restaurant after church. You won’t be there when we tell crazy stories about when we were little or most when Dad would always smack you in the head with a spoon at Thanksgiving dinner because he thinks it’s funny.
No more family photos or trips to Ohio. How do we go on when a piece of us is missing? It feels impossible. I never got the chance to say this but I love you. I can’t see you again here on earth and tease you about the pictures we found of your “scene phase” lol.
Love you little sister, Mollie.

I have know Emilie since I was about 15, reading these things made me so sad but so happy at the same time. Sad knowing that we will no longer be able to just call her up and speak to her but happy knowing she is no longer suffering and with Jesus. Emilie was so beautiful and such a funny girl to be around, I understand addiction and have seen it from many different views, and personally battled with it. I am sober now and have been for some time I work for a non profit that helps women and men with addiction and I remember Emilie and I last conversation was about a month ago and she told me she was proud of me and she wanted to hang out and have positive friends. I wish I would of been there but I failed her I am so sorry for your loss you guys raised and amazing kid she was so sweet and kind and I loved her I wish I would of been that positive friend but knowing she was doing certain things made me hold back ! I am ashamed of myself and I wish I could of been the difference, I vow to always continue to be the difference in honor of Emilie. Again I am so sorry for your loss and it is well with my soul knowing she gave her life to Jesus and she is in heaven. Praise the lord ! You will be in my prayers and I will be at her funeral on sat if there is anyway I can serve you please let me knowing cooking cleaning doing laundry anything I wrote Olivia on Facebook so I am able to be reached there thank you for listening and letting me share. I’m deeply sorry and praying
I’m so sorry for your pain Sipos family.A beautiful life ripped away way to soon.
The pain of losing a sibling kept me numb for what seemed like eternity. I can’t imagine the pain of a losing a child.
When you lose someone you think you can’t live without your heart will be badly broken. The bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But there is also good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly, still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.
R.I.P. Emily
We are very sorry for your loss and pray for your family. May God keep his hand over your family and help with the hurt. R.I.P. Emily
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. The pain of losing a child and a sister … there are no words that can make the pain of that bareable .. I wish there were. I hope that you and your family find peace. Your family means the world to me and Grace our hearts are heavy for you and we are sending all the love and hugs to you.
Liv and Sipos Family
We are praying for peace during this difficult time. We are here if you need us.
Rowens Family
There are no words that can describe your loss, but I ran across this remembrance and hope it will ease some of the pain in the days going forward:
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight that ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.
Mary Elizabeth Frye
God needs angels, we just don’t know when or how many.
To you and your family my friend Jeff. I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. From what I read in the eulogies she was and is deeply loved. My deepest condolences to you all. I know the feeling of losing a child. I lost my son a little over two years ago. May God watch over you all and may the angels wrap you in their loving arms.
Iremember when Emily and Olivia were little and my boys Drew and Zack would play together, Emily was always the boss. But Drew wanted to be the boss too so they often butted heads. Olivia and Zach would just sit there waiting patiently for them to be done and get back to playing. Kelly and family I am so sorry for your loss. But Jeff you said it well, because of the hope we have in Salvation in Christ you all will be reunited again.
So sorry for your loss, prayers to your family.
I am totally shock and deeply sadden by your great loss -I truly hope God can lift the heavy burden that this loss has brought to you – cherish the wonderful memories each and every day and she will always be there with you, her mom and sisters.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY. SEMI-PARALYSIS PREVENTS ATTENDANCE-I’LL BE THERE IN SPIRIT.
THANK JESUS, ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. BLESSINGS!!!
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.
Rest in peace to one of my close friends @esipos
We got distant these last couple years but I love you Em. And ill never forget you. We had some epic nights, and it was a privilege to have known you. The best times of my life you and the squad were by my side. The year we all lived together amd ran the clubs together with the fam is something i cherish and hold in my heart forever. It was one hell of a ride. We are club legends!
#RIP to my friend and my sister – Emily Sipos
#Squad #TripSquad i love you
Thoughts and prayers to your family during this time. So very sorry for your loss. God Bless you all.
To the Sipos Family, our condolences seem so little for such a monumental loss. I can not begin to imagine the pain and sorrow you feel. I’m so sorry we could not be there to be a shoulder to cry on. Our prayers are with you. He knows and cares. May His peace give you comfort. Love you all so much.
Love,
Lori, Wayne, Josh, Jayna, and Jessica.
I met Emilie through a friend … I watched her light up a room with her smile and I am so sorry for the loss everyone is going through. We weren’t close but you were always sweet to me and I hoped great great things for you. You will forever be remembered by all of us and loved and very deeply missed.
Missing you so much today, everyday and always. I just wish you could be here to meet your nephew. So many things have changed since you’ve been gone but I know you’re looking down so proud of me today. I love you so much Em, friends by choice sisters by chance.
