A tribute to Miss Emily!

Miss Emily passed away October 20, 2010 from complications of Pearson's syndrome, a rare illness involving mitochondrial function. She spent a lot of time at Primary Children's Medical Center, where she was loved by all who worked with her and she loved them. We will all miss "Emsies". Her smile, her laugh, her singing, and her play time. She loved to play with toys in the water. She loved her family so much! She loved to listen to her brothers and sisters read stories to her or make her laugh. She also had her hospital routines: holding a wipie or two, "one sip!" of water, music therapy, her nursery lessons on Sunday, taking walks, play time with Megan, popping bubbles, and phone calls on Skype to her family. In her short life, she changed the lives of those around her and the memories we cherish will continue to bless our lives forever. A special thanks to her "second family" at Primary Children's Medical Center - the amazing nurses, doctors, therapists, and other staff who served our family.

Oh Em...thank you... for sharing your life with me!
