happy birthday Emma. I look back at these photos and see you with your sister and it puts time in perspective. so many memories I have with Malorie, and I wish I had as many with you. I wish I knew what you would look like at age 9,what kind of personality, talents and gifts you would have, how it feels to hug you and be hugged by you, to know your voice. one day, I will know all of this...until then, watch over your sister and brother, and know you are loved. Love you forever, aunt Jess
Hi Baby Girl,
i wanted to share with you, even though i know that you already know, because you are watching down over all of us, we had a night dedicated to you, Nicholas, Andrew and Great Grandpa Don when we were all up in Houghton Lake this year. Auntie Anne brought up over 100 luminaries, and the kids and adults drew on them, and we lit them all up throughout the camp and on the docks. It was a special night, and i hope you enjoyed it.
We all miss you more than words can express or desribe. I know your Mommy and your Daddy long for the moment to be reunited with you again. I am looking forward to You, Andrew, Grandpa and Nicholas ( My Angels) all being there to greet me at the gates when it's my turn to go home. I can't wait to see how much you have grown, you are probably just as beautiful as your big sister Malorie.
Emma, please know that we will never stop talking about you, sharing memories of you, thinking about you and most importantly loving you.
I included a picture of one of the many luminaires with your name on it, i think your big sister Mal made this one.
Love you always xoxo
your cousin, Katie
Emma, We think about you always. The framed photo of you that was given to me for being your Godmother sits by our bed. I see you every day and tell you I miss you often. Your Uncle Terry has such regrets for seeing you only a few times and holding you only once. But his memory is sweet and cherished. He fed you and you would fake him out by falling asleep or "pretending" to, in the middle of a feeding- when he'd pull the bottle, you'd start sucking again. You made such sweet little noises when you were being fed! I remember attempting to change your diaper when you were really tiny- scrawny little legs, belly button still healing. A few short months later you were such a little chunker- chubby legs and feet! And the smiles were so cool- your eyes sparkled. You were a blessing. I thank God you were able to touch our lives and try not to be so angry that you aren't with us anymore. I'll never understand and to try doesn't help. What does is trying really hard when I'm sad, to think of your smiles. Happy Birthday baby girl. We know you are in the arms of those we also miss. Whether it be Grandpa or your Aunt Jackie- we know you are loved always in heaven and here on earth until we are with you.
Love always, Aunt Jessica
you are in my heart emma shea i love you very much and i wish you could come back but i know you are in a better place right now with aunt jackie. the moment i heard you pass away i was so up set about it. i fell the moments we had together when you were in my arms just smiling at me and that felt really good in my heart. i was so excited that i had a second cousin and malorie miss you too in her heart. i liked when i made you laugh when you were in the swing i would go pick -a -boo and you would laugh your head off

Dear Emma Bean,
I was absolutly honored to see you enter this world, I wasn't suppose to be in the room, and how lucky was I to be able to stay and see you take your first breath, hear your first cry and hold you in my arms, that is something that I will remember every minute of everyday for the rest of my life. I miss you sooo much peanut, your smell, the sparkle in your eyes, those cubby lil' cheeks, and those fat lil hamhocks. I could just squeeze you everytime I laid my eyes on you. You truly were sent from above. The last time I saw you was at Nana Hunt's house, mommy and Mally brought you over to go swimming, you fell asleep before you could go. How I wish I had spent more time holding and kissing you, and told you just how much I LOVE YOU!!! What I wouldn't give to hold you in my arms just one more time. I have a very special song I play all the time for you, "who'd you'd be today" that will be our special little song baby girl. I know Aunt Jacquie is up there taking special care of you. Until we meet again sweet heart I will think about you every minute. I love you soo much. Sweet dreams angel. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
