A beautifully written tribute. It captures the essence of the lovely, creative individual that was Emma, both before and after her struggle with mental illness. Such a tragic loss of a young life full of promise and potential. Our heartfelt condolences to you all.
What a wonderful, moving tribute. We offer our deepest sympathies for the tragic loss of Emma.
Emma, you were such an amazing friend through middle and high school. I was so lucky to have you as a friend and enjoy your vibrant personality and all of the fun we had together.
My deepest condolences to Emma’s family. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I can't even express myself for how sad this news is. She lighten up my life few years ago and i will never forget her, beautiful moments with her.
My deepest condolences to the family.
Dear Emma –
No one seemed to notice
What you were going through;
We all just kept on seeing
The girl we wanted to.
If we did not see
The pain that you were in
Or ask, or offer help
Forgive us for that sin.
Now we know your worries
Crease your brow no more
And your spirit rests in peace
Upon that distant shore.
And we in turn remember
The good times, not the bad:
We remember when you laughed with us,
Not when you were sad.
And laugh – we laughed often
For good times there were plenty
With jokes and songs and beer and wine
And a glass that was never empty
Like all the best friendships
Most valued when you win them,
Our lives have been the richer
Because you have been in them.
Good-bye, Emma
Our hearts are breaking for all of you. A beautiful tribute to a lovely person.
