I had the wonderful gift of growing up with Emily and living across the street from her. We walked to school together, rode Grandmother Parks' horses, set a really big fire in our neighborhood, climbed out her window at night and ran around the neighborhood. We went on our first dates together; she with my later to be husband, and I with my husband's best friend. I am saddened to hear of her passing, but rejoice and her homecoming into everlasting life. She was a wonderful friend, a really great teacher, and a generous and giving lady.
