Emily’s headstone finally arrived on May 22nd and it’s given an earthly finality to things. Her final earthly place is situated between where her father and mother will be buried, but in heaven there will be a beautiful reunion in the Kingdom that will never end.

Always believing that every day was an extra day beyond what she was ever supposed to live with cystic fibrosis, Emily had at the ready a written order of how she wanted things done at her funeral. She thoroughly listed everything she would like for her service. You can see her love for scripture (especially Isaiah passages) and hymns. We encourage you to dig into the Word and read those passages she held so dearly.

Below are a couple offered tributes that her father and her current “ghost writer” wanted to share as encouragement that God is there in the midst of suffering, even in the little moments, and that God’s the author and finisher of our lives.
