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.

"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).

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.

We continue praying for all of you - Gracie keeps us updated as well through her class's prayer chain. Pls let us know if we need to check on the house or anything else up here for you. In His Love, all the Browns
All of my students & I are praying for Emily & your family. I hope to see all of you real soon. In Christ, Jayson Roach
I pray that Emily is feeling better soon! I hope she enjoyed all of the treats that my uncle delivered to her for us! Give her my love and tell her I miss my Little Miss Sunshine! PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can do for any of you!
Love,
Mrs. Boyd (Susan)
My thoughts and prayers are with Emily and all of you. I have come to know her through all the times I have "subbed" in her class. We've played hide and seek around the columns many times.
My husband and I will be in Orlando for Christmas. We will be delivering a package from the school on Christmas Eve Day.
God bless all of you.
Love,
Mrs. Ford (Mary)
Hello Dear Ones ... We were going to stop by the hospital to see you all on Wednesday, but when we found out our precious Emily was in ICU, we decided just to keep on praying and not get in the way there. Just know that you will continue to be in our prayers every day, as you have been for so many years. We love you all. God love and bless you real good. Love, Irv and Carol
I used to sit with emily on the bus and everytime i would sit with her emily would always want me to scoot over more here are her exact words "more,a more,more,a more, stop!" i will always remember emily she was the sweetest thing you could ask for. Your family will always be in my prayers.
