My heart is breaking for my husband Jon, his brother Brian and step dad Jeff.  I only had a  short period of a few years of knowing my mother-in-law Emily. But during this time she always displayed a loving, kind-hearted woman/mother who was fiercely independent  and so easy to get along with. I will never forget how she welcomed me into her family and became not just another mother to me, but also my friend.   

There is this void in my heart now since she left this world. I am forever blessed though to know I had a chance to know this beautiful woman and how she deeply touched my heart in so many ways.  I will miss you Emily but also rejoicing that you're home and at peace ~ XOXO. Love Juanita 

My sincerest condolences to Emily's family. You have my deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.

Emily was an amazing person who I was fortunate to have the pleasure of knowing .  My memories of seeing her smiling face laughing on my visits to the Hamptons will always stay with me.
