I can not express the sadness I feel for the loss of Emily on this Earth. Although it has been many many years since I had seen her – we were childhood friends and I enjoyed her company. All of my very best to her family and friends. May her kind spirit reflect in all of you.

Ruby – No one should feel the pain of losing a child no matter what their age. I’m so sorry you have to go through this difficult time. My sincere sympathy and know that you and Emily are in my prayers.
Emily, I will never forget our special memories we had, growing up we were always so close, you gave me such great advice, I remember the last time i saw you face to face you told me, live your life happy and make sure you never do something just cause someone else believes differently. I will always remember that. In this time Im having a hard time knowing I will never see you again, but i do know god will take care of you and that makes my pain a little easier. I will miss you all the days of my life and I know god has chosen you to be an angel!!! So rest in peace cousin of mine and know we are all going to remember that beautiful face forever!!! Your cousin, Tiffany Green

Dear Ruby, Joel, Dave and the sweet girls, I can’t put into words how sorry I am. This is such a terrible loss. It just doesn’t seem possible. We love you all and are here if you need us. Please kiss the girls for us and let them know that we love them. I’m sure Emily will be watching them as they grow and with all the support and love they will receive they will know what a wonderful, loving and beautiful Mother she was. When we see the girls, we can see some of Emily in each one. What a wonderful gift she left for us to enjoy and love. May God be with you all.
She was a neighbor I never got to know, yet she passed by my house each time she took her daughters for a walk.
I am so sorry for your loss.
To David, and Ruby:
I remember the last time I saw Emily; It was at Tiffany Green’s baby shower. She was holding her baby with a smile that could light up a room. May God remove the pain and replace in your heart all the memories of Emily that bring joy and smiles to all who loved her.
Our prayers are with you and your family during this extremely difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Emily. She was one of the kindest ladies I have ever known and my thoughts and prayer are with the whole family.
Words cannot convey how very sorry I was to have learned of Emily’s passing. She was an angel on earth. I will especially remember her when we had to have our precious cat, K.C. put down from cancer. She was working at our animal hospital and was there with us during the procedure. Her compassion was something we will never forget. My heart goes out to her family during this sad time. Please know she is still with you all in her beautiful children and they will give you the strength to go on.
Ruby,
You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. We love you very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I’m so sorry for the loss of Emily, There are no words to tell you how I feel and there are no words to make the pain feel easier, just know that she is not in any pain and she is watching all of you taking very good care of the babies..I love you all and if you need anything please call me.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately I heard the news too late and was not able to attend the service. Your family are in my prayers.
Hello Dave and Girls,

Love you all
Dave, The Girls and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Emily was a beautful and sweet friend, she will be missed by all.
…………..The Patrizzi’s
The news of your death came a year too late…and I feel great remorse for that. I miss you Em.
Sitting down with an old friend reminising of days past, laughter breaks about the low tones of
everyday dialouge. Thoughts and unforgotten memories come showering in, the good times,
the bad times, the hard, and the easy. Knowing that deep in your soul that no matter what life
heaves at you or the direction in which your life leads. The bond that grows between you will
never sever. What makes you who you are today was learned through the special threads of yesterday. And to know you can depend on
those threads to hold you high, lend a shoulder to cry, or an ear to listen, only makes the connection stronger.
The little glow of light which touched your soul will shine in you from now until years
to come. These are the true ties to our existence and they will only flourish as we grow into the
beautiful flower we were meant to become. Even in death the memories will never fade for the light which touched our lives glows so bright it is the eternal flame of your existence and for that we are blessed you will never be forgotten We love you Em and you will always be in our hearts. I will miss you tremendously. Love always and forever your dear friend Kerianne
