Dear Her2 family,

It is with a peaceful heart that I am posting of Emelie's recent passing. Emelie passed away painlessly on Thursday morning at Denver Hospice with her loving husband Oleh and beautiful daughter Heleana at her side.

Emelie was at home on Saturday where we enjoyed a brief visit, chatting about the latest adventures of her daughter Kathrine who lives in Paris, her funny little pumpkin of a grandaughter. What a precious, precious vist. Bright eyed, witty as ever.

As many of you know, Emelie's approach to her passing was on her own terms. She certainly is an inspiration for choices. Emelie used her time to organize the house, create memories by visiting each of her children, having the courage to say goodbye to them. Planned for her death head on.

My dear friend and mentor, I will forever miss:

* Your intelligence and clarify to immediately assess a situation.

* Funny wit to find and communicate your thoughts. Always so insightful.

* Your AMAZING creativity

* Your beatuiful garden that you designed, created and generously shared with me.

*Enjoying the latest, hippest drink in your cleverly designed home that felt like you had entered a magazine.

*Relating stories of our children and their adventures.

You are loved and will be missed each and every day!!!

I KNOW that we will be together again.

Love and peace to your family......Lori
