That’s how I remember Emily, pure JOY. I knew Emily through my advisor role at Covenant Prebyterian’s High School Youth Connection program. Every Sunday she would bring her smile and spirit to the group and light up the evening. I got to know her better on our mission trip trip to Ft. Apache where she would always step in to lend her helping hand. She was not a shy person at all. As those who have posted here have said, she easily brought smiles to all the children at the reservation – laughing, joking, making crafts with them. Emily also worked hard to renovate the local homes. To remember Emily, I am organizing a bicycle team to ride in the Tour de Cure sponsored by the American Diabetes Association. The team’s name is EMILY’S JOY. If you would like to ride with us on May 22 or sponsor a rider, please call me at 608-833-1267.
