I would like to thank Papaw, the EMS and all the staff of Cabell Huntington Hospital who intervened on our behalf. I know you tried and she tried, too. She would have come back if she could.
Thank you, my friends at Burnaugh Baptist Church. Emma knew Jesus loved her because of all of you. Thank you to my friends and all the staff of Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital. Your love and support are so special to me. To all who met Emma, thank you for seeing the joy she brought and the love she had for everyone. Thank you, God, for letting me be her mommy. Every day was a gift.
