I live in Atlanta now but worked with Emily at Hilton for more than three years and I remember very vividly what a vivacious, perky person she was. She was always smiling and was so thoughtful. She, along with another co-worker, was the first to visit me at the hospital after the birth of my second child. She was snapping pictures and beaming with that smile we all remember. When I found this blog yesterday, I was in disbelief and dismayed because people like Emily leave such an impact. And, she did make such an impact on everyone she met. Emily was a JEWEL and is greatly missed.LOUISE M MOOREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994943019160861169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-55635689461376636042009-05-02T07:39:00.000-05:002009-05-02T07:39:00.000-05:00I never met Emily, but after hearing stories about...I never met Emily, but after hearing stories about what a brilliant shining light she was, I am very inspired. Whenever we think of her, we are strengthened by her example. She lives on in our hearts! May God continue to comfort you and bring you complete peace and joy. You and your family continue to inspire us all. Emily must be so proud up there telling all her fellow angels, "See, look! Aren't they amazing!?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-77761713264139367692009-03-24T00:27:00.000-05:002009-03-24T00:27:00.000-05:00She was a wonderful person full of love and insigh...She was a wonderful person full of love and insight.

I don't know if Robert has emailed you, but he said something the other day, and I think that you would truly appreciate it. "Many of us search for happiness all of our lives, Emily found it in one year. That's why God took her away from us."(yes, that came from my brother) It might not make it any easier for her family and those of us who loved her, but knowing her, she would want all of us to go in search of our dreams and be happy.<BR/>I love you,<BR/>StephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-35360275277934585892008-05-06T20:03:00.000-05:002008-05-06T20:03:00.000-05:00Freedonian: Thanks so much for the kind words.Freedonian: Thanks so much for the kind words.Smart City Consultinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985783340016474051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-2911660697538405672008-05-06T17:01:00.000-05:002008-05-06T17:01:00.000-05:00Tom, my heart goes out to you and your family.

It could knock down the walls and build a newer, happier room that was more to her liking. What a rare spirit and those of us who knew her even a little bit were honored and privileged.
