My deep feelings and prayers are ongoing for all of you.  You are a  loving and strong family .   A standard for all of us.  Add my name to those who loved Emily.   May God's river of love carry you through these  hard days.  

My love,

Kathryn Stamey

O sweet Emmy Sue how I love you!!!

From getting up early before school and taking you to harp or piano lessons to picking you up after school and taking you to soccer practice! 

Talking about and listening to music and answering all your many questions and teaching you about all the different genres of music we would listen to on our drive!

To the stinky hermit crabs and bird eating cats that you loved so very much!

To the “Hello Dolly” musical we got to do together and Santa Cruz fun days, or party weekends when mom and dad were out of town.

To sleepovers at my apartment and helping you move into your college dorm room! I love you so so much!!

These are just a few of the memories of you that have been flooding my mind the last few days but the memories I hold the most dear and always will is when I got the privilege to tell you that I loved you to the moon and back as I put you to bed and your response was always that you loved me haystacks and haystacks and haystacks! 

Where this came from neither of us ever remembered but it became our thing and I love it!! 

Now more than ever miss Emmy Sue I love you way past the moon and back and I will always remember you always haystacks and haystacks!
