Emily was one of a kind. She was not defined by her Down syndrome or her illnesses but by the love she offered to family and friends. Although originally created to communicate her health status to prayer warriors, this blog is now a tribute to the impact she had on our lives.

Meaningful Scriptures
Books That Have Helped
"I'll dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms 'cause I know something the prince never knew. I'll dance with Cinderella; I don't wanna miss even one song, 'cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight, and she'll be gone" (Steven Curtis Chapman).
Readings & Songs from the Funeral
This picture of Emily with Santa was published in the Daytona Beach newspaper a few years ago.

Thanks for Loving Emily
Those who risked getting to know someone who was "different" were rewarded by discovering that Emily wasn't that different after all. Maybe the biggest difference was that, because life was simpler for her, she knew what was ultimately most important and focused her life on that -- making others feel loved. We are humbled to have had that gift. Thank you for experiencing Emily with us.
