Jordan ended her tribute with words that capture both the heartbreak of losing Emmy and the enormous impact the 6-year-old had on her life:
“You saved me in so many ways. You encouraged me to wear my heart on my sleeve more than I already do. To love loudly and forgive easy. To laugh every chance you get, and never turn down a sweet treat!”
“I miss you so so much. Thank you for being you. I wish I could have saved you, but I promise to stay strong for you.”
And then, one final promise:
“Being your sister will always be my greatest blessing. And I just know you’re the prettiest angel.”
At only 6 years old, Emmy never got the chance to see what first grade would bring, to grow up, or to discover all the things her future might have held.
But to the people who loved her, she left something behind that cannot be measured in years — a lifetime of memories, kindness and love packed into six short years.
We’re sending all our strength, love, and prayers to Emmy’s family and the entire community during this heartbreaking time.
