I just got thinking about this and I think I was in 3rd grade when it happened...
I'm so sorry. I was thinking about if I could bring one person back to life who it
would be, and immediately Emily came to my mind. I barely knew her except
hearing about her from Jessica but she seemed like an amazing person who
could've done amazing things. She will forever be remembered...

Tammy, Sam and Jessica When someone loses a loved one who has meant
so much to them,it's hard to know how to begin to express sympathy and
words of comfort. We can only say that because you're so important to us,
your sorrow touches us deeply. We want you to know that we care much more
than we could ever find words to tell you.
FRED AND HILDA STERLING, OCTOBER 10, 2006
My prayers and thoughts are with your family.
TAMMY CYRA, OCTOBER 10, 2006
Tammy and Jessica - Take comfort in that fact that Emily is with God. Trust in
the Lord and he will give you strength, he will console you and lift you up! If
you need anything we are here for you. You are always in our prayers. E

LIANA & BOB SCOTT GARDUQUE & ALBERSON FAMILIES, OCTOBER 9, 2006
Tammy, Johnny and I are so sorry for your loss of Emily. She is still in your
heart and the hopes for the future are wonderful when you will see her again,
but we know how sad you are now. I hope your faith will strengthen you during
this time. Losing a child is very hard. I hope Psalm 73:23 along with other
Bible Promises will help, also the promise of Jesus that he will always be with
you. We know how He must have you wrapped in his love right now. We
enjoyed Emily in Sunday School at FBC Jasper for 3rd and 4th grades. Love,
Eurilla Hyatt

RICHIE, JEFF, KARI, AND LAURA HENKE, OCTOBER 2, 2006
Dear McBride Family. While I never knew your precious daughter, it fills my
heart with sadness to know that I never will. I can't even imagine just how
painful it must be to lose a child. As a Pickens resident, I read of her passing
in the news paper. My family and I will be keeping you in our thoughts and
prayers. May you find the strength to carry on, at this difficult time. Just think
of us as fellow Americans that really care. Most sincerely The Everitt Family of
Pickens County GA
CAROLINE EVERITT, OCTOBER 1, 2006
I am incredibly saddened by the news of Emily's death. Life must seem
unbearable at this difficult time. I know, however, that you know God and
because He alone knows and cares about everything that concerns you He is
able to comfort you as no person can. I am praying for you to have strength to
face the day, Tammy, Jessica and Sam.

Tammy, Sam, and Jessica -- We were so saddened to hear about Emily. I

Emily in chorus, even if it was for a short time. Hold on to all the wonderful
memories you all have in your hearts, and may God bless each of you. We
love you.....
LESLIE AND MARK MILLER, SEPTEMBER 29, 2006

Tammy and family, I am so very sorry for the loss that you have experienced.
Words can never heal or replace the loss of your daughter but time will. Our
God is a good God and will bring good out of this tragedy. “Your righteousness
reaches to the skies, O God, You who have done great things; Who, O God, is
like You? Though You have made me see troubles, many and bitter, You will
restore my life again; from the depths of the earth, You will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.” Psalm 71:19-21
