and Allen Ray and Karey Mackey
She has two brothers, Ryan Matthew, born 1977
and Christopher Keith, born 1978.
Emily has one sister, Jill Marie, born 1981.
She lived in Henderson with her family until her death.

Words to describe Emily from her own family:
Emily loved hard rock and some country music.  She liked her music loud, she had great “bumps” in her blazer.  She never went a day without listening to her music and usually drove the rest of her family crazy with it so loud.  She loved her sleep and hated to be woke up before it was time. She hated people that ate noisily. She hated rules to follow, and usually went through life living by her own rules.  She usually gave her teachers and cops a hard time, as well as her parents, but always in the end she would be greatly admired and loved by them.  She was a leader among all, and never went with the now fads or trends.  She had her own style of how to dress and act and followed no others ways.  Her beauty was astounding, turning most men’s heads wherever she would go. When she felt like dressing up, she could be so elegant,, but even if the mood was sloppy, she still couldn’t hide her looks. Her breath-taking face, shapely legs and figure made her unique, gracefully carried her across a room.  She had many boyfriends, but one in particular stole her heart, by the name of Casey Branson.  This classy lady never knew how beautiful she was, which made her never feel superior to others and humble at heart. She had a loving, gentle way with children and the elderly.  They would flock at her feet, craving the attention she so lovingly gave.  A special hug or kiss was a treasure greater than gold, a beautiful smile or laugh that never left your soul. She was always fun to be with.  She lived her short 18 years to the very fullest, never afraid to try anything and touching all the lives around her for all eternity.  Her greatest love on earth was her sister and her family, an angel in Heaven now watching over all of them.  She once said her mama was her hero and wanted to follow in her footsteps, but now it is her mother that thinks she was the hero all along, and I long to follow those footsteps to Heaven to see and hold our beautiful angel once more.

~IF LOVE ALONE~
~Author Unknown~

You never said, "I'm leaving."
You never said, "Good-bye."
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special place,
no one can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone
for part of me went with you,
that day God called you home. 

~A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN~

Perhaps you aren't ready yet
to have to say goodbye...
Perhaps you thought of things 
you wish you said ~ well so have I.
For one thing, I would have told you
not to worry about me...
I'm with the Lord in Heaven now ~
you knew that 's where I'd be.
I'm sorry that your feeling sad,
for I'm happy now...
I've asked the Lord to ease your hurt
it's hard at the beginning,
But I know you'll make through...
I hope it helps to know
that I'll be waiting for you.

A bud the Gardener gave us,
A pure and lovely child.
He gave it to our keeping,
To cherish undefiled.
But just as it was opening,
To the glory of the day,
Down came the
Heavenly Gardener
And took our bud away.
