As I sit in the silence of my home...I have so many thoughts...today Emily was cremated. DJ and I played on the river...made a heart out of rocks and her name out of sticks...then we just walked. As we walked closer to the crematory, we were thinking was it this cloudy and gray when we started on our journey today? Tonight was a beautiful sunset...it was as if the clouds and grayness was opening and ready...my whole family stood in silence outside watching...Was the longest, most beautiful ever!
Kirk, you brought the laughter to my day...thank you...
I hope tomorrow brings one more day of life... And we celebrate her life with the passion she showed daily...such a tall order...
I miss you Emily so much...I love you Emily to the moon and back, forever and ever...

Again, i am unable to explain how i am feeling for you, there are no words to describe how much i feel right now, and yes, i agree, the sunset was beautiful with all the oranges, golds, purples and reds, wasn't it? I find myself seeing her at school everyday, then the person turns and i see it's not her, but i know she is with us. but the sunset, i think she made it just for you, and in it, she was smiling back at you and saying im alright. Please E-mail me about the memorial, i just want to know some more details.

Thinking of you...

Dear Sheryl and Family,
I have no words...only tears...and still they're not enough... If there was any way I could take your pain or carry your heavy heart I would.... We are far in miles but near in thought and wish we could wrap our arms around you.
Stay strong, stay well...we miss you and pray for deep healing for you and your family.
With Love, Teresa Coyle Airey
Cheryl, you remain in our thoughts and prayers. Emily's room has not been occupied since her departure and it feels very empty. I admire your strength, courage, and selflessness. I am positive that Emily is very proud of her mom for all that you have done, the decisions that you have made, and the strength you have given others around you.
I can't wait for you to get the cards/letters on how each recipient of Emily's gift of life is thriving. It is so heart warming, and that silver lining is how we get through each day in a place full of tragedy. Please keep in touch with us and make sure that you, DJ, and Hanna take care of yourselves during this difficult time.
Dear Sheryl and D.J.,
I did not know about Emily's tragic accident until I saw Monday's paper (11/17), then I came to this blog. I went numb.
I attended last night's memorial service for Emily. While I only knew Emily and Hanna as little girls in the car as you traveled Rio Seco Rd., I came away from last nights service with a feeling of amazement. I found myself smiling and shedding tears as picture after picture, and friend after friend gave testimony to the beauty of the spirit known as Emily. I have prayed asking for peace for you, D.J., and Hanna and comfort in the coming months. I know you feel Emily's presence and that she can hear your thoughts. I will soon let you know how I 'Pay it Forward'.
With loving thoughts,
Karen Sedillo
