Emily lived just up the street from me. We did lots of crazy things together and had lots of fun. She will be missed.

We have been good friends since the day I met her as a Freshman until the day she died. I spoke to her often and visited the Ranch when I was in town. Emily was the very essence of a friend, a dear kind hearted women with lots of spunk and laughter. She will be missed.
