Awwww  "Em"...we are saddened and shocked.  We will miss you at whatever gathering we are at where you would add your commentary and make us laugh.  We loved getting your gander up (putting it mildly) over the Packers vs Vikings discussions.  You always got the last word (because we let you!).  You always "told it like it was", no holds barred, "put it out there" and always had a good jab.  Crack some jokes with Ed, say hi to Judy, laugh with grandma Daly, tell Aunt Betty how we all think about her.  We will miss you girl, so please watch over all of us ok?  Please let your mom & dad know your "ok and free now"and that you're protecting them from above.  We love you Em.


Love Duane (one of your favorite uncles) and Linda ( go Packers!)

Oh Emily ~


You and Gillian were in the same St. Francis Jr. High Spanish class together (along with many otherr classes). I don't know who talked more ~ you or her. You were both spirited, talkative and mildly naughty, which I loved. Gillian ended up getting the midquarter that should have gone to you for talking too much. Your parents probably got hers.


Rest in peace. You were a wonderful student. I hope you are at least singing something. I shall have to lower your grade if you're not.


Ms. Judge

Karen and Rich,


So sorry for your loss.  There are really no words that can take away this pain.  I only hope you can remember the happy times and cherish Emily in your memories forever.  Prayers and thoughts to you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Daly family. 

Karen and Rich:


There is nothing I can say that will ease your pain at this time.  I know there are many who will offer their condolences, love and prayers including me.  Ongoing support in the days and months ahead will be increasingly important. Because many others care, I know you will in time find some comfort in their words and prayers.  God is near the broken-hearted. 

Sweet Emily, we will all miss your joy and your spirit. I’m sure that Dave greeted you with the biggest hug ever. You always thought his hugs were the best. I’m sure you are at peace. We will be here for your family for whatever they need. 

Karen and Rich: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Emily. You have my most sincere condolences. I will be unable to attend her funeral, but please know I will be praying for you, and may the memories you shared together sustain you in your time of grief.
