Emily- we just finished the walk today… it’s amazing to see all of us in our bright pink shirts, how large a force we’ve become. The weather was great this year and your family still joins us- your Mom with pink roses in hand 🙂 There are girls that have never met you but are still as much your sister as those that knew and love you deeply. It’s so bitter sweet- we are so happy to honor your memory and be so inspired by you- but so sad that you are not by our side walking with us; I take comfort in that you are there in spirit. I just wanted to let you know that I still think about you, I still miss you and you will never be forgotten. YSF, Jamie “CoCo” Ravet #24

Happy Birthday Emily!! Today you would be 24 and I am sure demanding you usual dirt cake. Yesterday Colleen, Steve and I went and saw the new Harry Potter movie, the half blood prince, at an IMAX in Madison. The first 15 minutes were in 3D and it was very cool. You always knew how to pick good friends. Colleen is a good friend, but you have many more who miss you, along with your family. Today is Emily’s birthday, happy birthday dear one. Feel the love as we relish our memories of you. I love you forever, Mommy

Hey Em, I miss you so much! I can’t believe it’s been so long since our summers driving around and camping in your TT. I just finished moving into my condo and have the Chihuahua candle you gave me sitting on a shelf already? It is such a wonderful reminder of you, your laughter, your smile, and your gift for always thinking of others. I cherish every time someone asks me about it because I get to talk about you and how much you have impacted my life. I love you so much! Always, Maria

One of the many great memory of me and Emmy was when we were at the lake and her and I slept in grandmums bed and I wet it!!! I was really little at the time and we washed them before grandmum found out! She was a great sister, always there to help me (clean my wet sheets)

I can’t believe it’s been so long. So impossibly long since I seen you, heard your laugh. And yet I still think of you everyday. In my dreams, it’s still some kind of cruel joke – but then I wake up. No words can express what your friendship always meant to me. I hope you realized that. — To say that I am forever changed for having known Emily sounds so cliche’ but it’s true. I’m so thankful to have known Emily.

I still miss you, I still love you, you’re still my best friend. I still have your pictures and notes, things you left at my house and I still remember the little things, like your 70s mix CD for the truck, your favorite perfume, our song. My family misses you too; my mom loved your big appetite and your joke with Patti about how she was always in pajamas when you came over. Michael misses you. I don’t really know what to say, I just want you to know that I love you as much as I ever did and you’ll always be my best friend – that will never change. I miss you Emily

I love you Emily. I miss you so much!

Emily, I will never forget you and I am so thankful that you came into my life even though it was brief, you affected me more than anyone could ever know. I learned to appreciate the oppurtunities that come my way and to never take myself too seriously- When you passed away I couldn’t make sense of it- and all I could vow to do was take advantage of the life I do have and be the best person I can be to make up for the life you didn’t have the chance to live. You did more, and made such an impact on this world in your short time than most people do in a life time and I always wonder what you would have accomplished had you been given the chance- but everything you accomplish is now through the lives of those you touched- those who will never forget you. You inspire me, I look up to you, I miss you. Thanks for being my sister. You will never be forgotten. I love you. YSF. CoCo #24 Kappa Tau Sorority

“wish i knew what i do when i was young.” i dont remember when i exactly met emily, im sure through Grant and Colleen, but i could of been anyone that was unconventionally friendly to me entering ehs. i do remember when she impressed me and i think i her, when she asked me whom sung the mentioned song. Faces. that was the moment i fell for her, talking the closest table to the food during a free mod. its unbeleivable how your still with me, but i shouldnt of expected anything else.

Four years ago you physically left us, but your strong spirit is with us every day. Your niece Emma Louise arrived in March and I know you would adore her. As I spend time with her, we always talk about her Auntie Em. Your memory will always live on. I miss our talks, our hugs, your opinions on everything. You are in my thoughts and actions everyday. And I know you are not very far away. I will always love you. Mommy
