In Loving Memory
I was so sad hear about Emilie's passing, I worked with her at JCPENNEY at cottonwood mall. I knew when I met her I wanted to be her friend, with all her hard work and happy and caring personality. She made me feel good after a bad day and I was allways glad she was working when I needed some encouragement. She had a great sense of humor . I last saw her at St Marks which Im glad I ran into her, always wanting to work and just didn't want to give up. Sending my warm thoughts to her family and I wish you all peace and comfort at this time. REST IN PEACE BY FRIEND !!

I worked with Emilie at Bella Vista Elementary, and I loved her! Oh the conversations we had.....she was such a hard working and fiesty person, she was just fun to be around. I saw her at Dollar Tree a few years ago and have thought of her so many times. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch. She'd be proud of me for ditching my sad life for a glad life, and I always wanted to meet up with her and tell her! She sure loved her family and grandkids, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was searching her name to try and contact her, and I'm very sad I didn't do it sooner.
