Jen, Ross, and family,
Very sorry to hear the news of Emily passing. Hopefully you are able to get through this difficult time with all the fond memories she gave you. Our thoughts go out to you. Dave & family.
Dear Ross & Family,
It is with deep and sincere sadness that I learned of your dear Emily’s passing. The past few days have found me reflecting on simpler times in life, when coming off the rugby pitch with all bones intact, holding court around the pool table on Thursday nights and thinking of little beyond the moment were chief among our priorities.
I know all too well the difficulties you must have endured over the years, but never can these outweigh the immense joys and fond memories you have reaped through your dedication and simple love of your daughter.
Although I did not know Emily personally, it is very evident the profound and positive impact she had on those who did. I look at her picture each time I visit my son at Mimi’s House, and I will continue to acknowledge the big, bright-eyed smile that represents such an indomitable spirit.
May you have peace.
Your friend,
Gord Robbins (& Family)
Roger, Ann and Sky,

Maria and Christopher
