[Debbie L.]

Thank you, Lori, for this gentle update. I hope that you and all of Emelie's loved ones will accept my sincere condolences. It's an odd mix of feelings -- great sadness but also peace and even a strange joy.

We learned so much from Emelie on this list, don't you think? We always do learn from each other, but I am full of gratitude to Emelie for the special perspective she shared with us, in her gentle but oh-so-strong way.
