Emily, I liked you from the moment I met you, you helped take care of Madden and made co parenting so easy. I admire your positive energy, every time I saw you and asked how you were feeling you always had a smile and said you were good no matter the circumstances. I appreciate you loving my son and caring for him at his dads house you were truly a gift. Madden misses you a lot I hope you know you meant so much to him. I am so thankful I got to know you and Madden got to have you in his life we are so thankful that your bright light came into our lives. Rest In Peace Emily.

Your fight with CB is over, and you will be missed. I always think of you, when there is a sunburst over your Dad's house. I know that is you, and I was able to tell you that a while back... You will be a great Angel in heaven... God Bless!

From your younger years, throughout life, watched you grow and develop, your smile was a gift from God, your will is an inspiration for anybody anywhere. Softball, Graduation, Baby, so many friends, such a Ray of Light regardless of what was in your path, you conquered it, you made the room alive,, so happy, so smiley, so selfless, so much.... I look around now, you're everywhere in the world, every smile, everything good in this World, it's all around now. Full Circle, Full life packed into a blink of an eye. I am so saddened but I am so happy that you are breathing good now, you are so loved, your life will live on through all the people you accepted through life, people you may have never known were inspired by you! Your family with Jax and all the kids brought into it, such a blessing, Now you are part of that light everywhere.... All around.

I'm so very sad to hear that you list your angel. I don't know how to tell you it get better as the days go by.i lost my mom and wife in a three and a half month period last year. So I know how devastating. This is for you. You'll be in my prayers tonight. I know no words can comfort you and I knew how close you two are. I only pray that Jesus holds you in his arms and let's you know that she is well know and at home with your family that came before her.
