Dear Caitlyn, Dear Doug,
 Our hearts are breaking for you and your unimaginable loss. But we want you to know how much your beautiful Emma enriched our lives every single time you brought her with you when our early morning group of friends would gather. Never have we known such a sweet, friendly,  loving child.  She brightened everyone's mornings  tippy-toeing  around from one of us to another,  sitting on laps and pouring out love, never failing to wave and say bye-bye with her beautiful smile when it was time to leave.  We know that she is now sitting on God's lap, basking in His Love and  ready for whatever activities He has planned for His new little angel.  
Love, Linda and Guy 

Great Uncle Harris and Aunt Debi, and cousins Tifani and Rebekah never got the opportunity to meet beautiful little Emma in person, but we are all deeply grieved by her being gone so soon. We wish we could have been at her service with you all but circumstances being as they are..., at least we were with you watching the live stream. It was a beautiful service, and we cried with you all. Stay strong and happy as I’m sure Emma would want, as from her photos she seemed to be a very happy cherub!, she would not want us unhappy. Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences, sympathies and LOVE  go out to Caitlyn and Doug, as well as Betty and Doug, aunties Mandy and Melissa and all our family, and friends, as well as her friends, teachers etc..., She is now gone from earth but we can all take peace knowing now she plays with God and His Angels, and all family members who have gone before her, in heaven till we all have our own times to join her and all of them.  She is watching down over her mom and dad sending them, and all of us, peace and love through the happy loving memories we have of her, whatever they may be from, by being with her in person or through the awesome photos shared in her tribute. Our prayers, Love, and heaps of hugs and kisses are sent to and for you all.  We will all be reunited in heaven when the time is right.  Till then, May our loving God keep everyone in His Love and Grace! Know that we are here for you! 😰🙏🙏💕❤️💋💋♾👼🎗May we all remember her fondly, happily forever till we are reunited with her and all our preceding loved ones in heaven forever with God!

Princesa hermosa, dulce, tierna, mi niña consentida ahora estás en un lugar muy bonito junto a Dios,  siempre  te recordaremos con tu misma carita y tu sonrisa inigualable, tus amiguitos del colegio y tus maestras te recordaremos siempre gracias por tus enseñanzas en este tiempo, vuela alto mi nena.

Caitlyn, Doug & family, we are sending all the prayers & blessings from our hearts. We are so sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful service and you will continue to be in our prayers. 

My dear Emma, you will always be in my heart. You were so sweet and happy, I will never forget you My little Princess.  I'm going to miss you so much. Rest in peace. Love Always, Carla 

I never met Emma, but her smile lit up my FB page every time someone posted a photo of her.  


Every day, forever, I will be grateful that life brought me, Matthew, Douglas, Caitlyn and Emma together in Florida. I will remember the times we got to share Emma, like at the zoo and dinners out or at your house. The light she brought to us will forever be bright when our families are all together. We love you. 
Aunt Sherri, Thomas and Matthew

Dear Emma,  Words can not express how much you were loved.  Rest peacefully, sweetheart. Love Always, Auntie Sue

Caitlyn & Doug,
Heartache  no one can heal, memories of love no one can steal.

Doug and Caitlyn, no words can express our sorrow for your loss.  Emma was a beautiful little girl that made the lives of those  she met  better for just  knowing her.   She will always be in our hearts.  Andrea and Anton

Why does God send an angel to earth if he does not allow them to stay here forever? Well
Sweet Emma your not gone your now living through all the lives you saved. Your still an angel on earth and in passing. You will be missed and never forgotten. Rest In Peace sweet Emma. 

Doug and Caitlyn, I am praying so hard for you two and the unimaginable pain you are going through. I remember when I met Emma, she was so tiny and your family was in town, and of course, when she was miraculously growing in Caitlyn's belly. Later, you two brought her over to our home when our son was born. They were so cute together with her "Daddy loves me" pacifier and Niko's "Mommy love me" one. I love you so much. 

To Doug and Caitlyn:  life can be so unfair sometimes. God must have needed Emma for something very special.  Love each other thru this unspeakable tragedy.  Draw on each other's strength.  You both have family and friends who love you very much. May God help you to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Love Ann

Dear Sweet Emma, you will forever be in my heart. Thank you for always visiting me and making me smile. 

Emma, your were a ray of sunshine when you came to work with your mommy and daddy. You made everyone smile and everyone loved you! I will never forget you coming to my office looking for the colorful balls to play with or the fun we all had with you celebrating your birthday at your magical party last year. You hold a very special place in my heart and will
 forever be missed. ♥️

It was awkward how I met you, little one. But the joy you brought to so many will never be forgotten. 
From your giggle in the elevator from ringing the bell. To having coffee and doughnuts with you, Doug and Hotse in the mornings at the club. The way you just beamed with a unknowing joy and happiness. 
Thank you for making me smile when I was broken, depressed and feeling lonely.  I will cherish your memory for all the day's I have left. Rest in eternal peace little one.

Baby girl Emma, I never met you or your Daddy.  But loved seeing what a beautiful and happy child you were in the photos your mommy posted.   You were so loved and brought such joy, love and peace to all the hearts you touched.  Fly high little angel and be the shining light to your mommy and daddy.  Your mommy holds a special place in my heart and I will pray for her.  
My sincere condolences to the family.


So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers and Hugs for all. 

Tammy 

I am so saddened to see this notice.  We don’t know each other but I send my absolute deepest sympathies to all of you...I said a prayer for Emma, your family and friends.

We cant all come together to celebrate your life and support your mommy and daddy. Today we will support them the only way we can.
Your memory will live on through all of us. I will always make sure Maggie remembers you. I played the video from Candytopia for her and she knows you will be our angel. Your smile never failed to touch my heart every time I was blessed to get to spend time with you and it was so much like your mommas. 
Sending love to your mommy and daddy today. 
Love Maggie and Gina

My baby cousin Emma will forever be in mine and my families heart.

I loved the way she watched her daddy play softball 🥎 through the fence yelling hi daddy !!! Clapping her little hands sitting on the bleacher with her mommy . Her little big blue eyes smiling !! Love you Emma

I will never forget how beautiful Emma looked on Halloween in her Dorothy costume. She had the sweetest smile and when she looked up at you with those incredible blue eyes, it took your breath away. 

This photo makes me smile because I remember how much Emma enjoyed those apple slices! 

We are heart sick for Emma’s family and their incredible pain.  We share in their grief for the loss of this sweet girl. We will cherish Emma in our hearts forever.

Baby Emma, 
You were one of the brightest little lights I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Your light will remain to shine on through the memories of your friends Madison and baby Kenna. Manna and Nicky will make sure of that. We promise to be there in the difficult times for mommy and daddy no matter what. Rest with angels now sweet baby girl. 
Love,
     Nicky

My sweet beautiful girl. To write a favorite memory would be impossible. I can’t choose just one. The piece of my heart you once filled you have taken with you. You were an amazing little human and Makenna and Madison will grow up with your memory fresh in their hearts and minds. I will share with them all of the joy and happiness you brought to so many lives. You are with us wherever we go. My promise to you is to always be there for mommy and daddy. ❤️ Manna loves you with every ounce of her being❤️

I only knew of Emma thru her grandma Lynn.  She adored Emma.  Every time I ran into Lynn at Sandstone she would have such a glowing smile when she would speak of her upcoming trip or the trip she had just taken to Florida to see Emma.
My heart aches for all of you.  You are in my thought and prayers
Janice🙏❤️
