I can remember meeting Emily when her family first moved to McMurry in the mid 1990's. During the ~25 years I knew Emily she was always headstrong and a spitfire with a very quick wit. Incredibly beautiful inside and out. She was the first girl I ever kissed and taught be how to be a doting boyfriend while balancing having a healthy fear of her father. We stayed in touch as we went our separate ways, usually exchanging Christmas cards and we would try to connect the few times I was in Philadelphia. I'm incredibly sad we weren't able to meet when I was there two years ago and sadder still I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. My father always thought the world of her and would tease her and she could always dish it right back. I'd like to think they are spending some long overdue time together now catching up. All my love to her entire family.
