I only met Emily 3 times, but at each meeting she was as sweet as could be. I have read many of the other stories on this site and see how much all of you really loved and cared for this wonderful person. I felt I needed to share because Emily’s mom is a very special person to me and I know that these stories help to keep Emily’s memory alive. The first time I met Emily was the day Margaret was taking her to college. She was very excited! (I also saw that hint of nervousness in her that all new college students have). She told me that she was attending UWM and living in her own apartment. I thought that was really cool. I remember wishing her luck and watching her smile as she left for her new adventure. I know this is a small/ short memory but her energy and spunky attitude stuck in my head – even though I did not know her very well. From what Margaret tells me and through the pictures I’ve seen, UWM was a wonderful place for Emily. She anticipated great things and found them there.
