i still think of her and what could have been, sad i only knew her for such little time. i hope you're having a wonderful time up there emily.

'There isn't one day that goes by that I don't think of her.'

'It's still crazy to think how long it's been without Emily, without her funny jokes or her happy personality, it feels like just yesterday in algebra we were talking and joking around.'

'Its been almost a year, but I still think about Emily. She helped me make friends at swim and we would have the weirdest conversations during dry-land. I put her on my altar for dia de los muertos so that she may find her way to her family tonight. May God have laid his blessing on her beautiful soul.'

'I miss Emily so so so much! Even though we may not have been best friends I still know she had a sweet, loving, kind spirit. 
She will always be remembered forever and always.'

'May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.'

'Hi. It's been a while and I still think about Emily each and everyday. May she be in our memories forever'

'Hey Emily , it's the other Emily here I just want to let you know I really miss you and our fun times together at school . It's almost 4 months now and I hope your having a good time up in heaven '

'It's been almost two weeks and I still find it incredibly difficult to write about a beautiful life taken too soon. We think about Emily and the Zaltsman Family everyday. Emily was such a great friend to Hannah and we will not ever forget the memories of Emily and how she touched so many lives. We are forever grateful that we had the good fortune of spending many wonderful times with Emily and I loved watching Emily and Hannah's friendship grow stronger through the years. I will never forget their last get together in our backyard pool and trampoline and hearing them laugh and enjoy each other's company. She will never be forgotten. Karin, Tamir and Sarah, we are heart sick over the loss of your beloved daughter and cherished sister. We pray for your strength in these difficult days ahead.'

'Emily's light will shine forever. Daily prayers and thoughts for your family.'

'Emily and I didn't know each other that well, but I wanted to tell you this: She was an amazing person. She helped the community, she helped her friends, and most importantly, she helped her family. I would see her helping teachers and younger students and just smiling even if she was in pain. I remember seeing her leaving the Hazzan's office when I was getting ready to practice for my Bat Mitzvah. I would see this huge smile on her face and think, That's an amazing person right there. I never had the courage to talk to her because I'm extremely socially awkward, but I regret not talking to her now. She truly will be missed. She will always be remembered as an amazing person in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family during this hard time. -Lillian'

'Karin, I was shocked to hear about Emily's passing... my heart breaks for you and your family. I wish I could say something to take away the pain and grief you all are going through, but since there are no words, you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days and months to come. May the sweet memories of your beautiful Emily bring comfort to you, and may God wrap His loving arms around you through your family and friends.'

'My deepest condolences to Emily's parents and siblings And all her friends and family. I'm a mother myself and want you to know the lord has his arms wrapped around you during this difficult time.'

'Our hearts are broken knowing sweet Emily was taken too soon, we cannot stop thinking about you. We pray for peace, comfort and healing for all of her family and friends. Karin, Tamir, and Sarah, may G-D give you strength during this difficult time. We give our love to you.'

'Dear family Zaltsman, In these heartbreaking days we keep you in our hearts and thoughts. The memories with Emily will support us and will stay all through our lives. We were gifted to enjoy great moments with her at JCC. She will always be remembered and missed.'

'No one should have to endure this unthinkable heartache. There just aren't words to express how very sorry we are. Emily will never be forgotten. We love you all.'

'My thoughts and prayers go out to Emily's Mom Dad and sister and her entire family and fellow students at Rawlinson and friends. My daughter Kaylee was a student at Rawlinson and just heard the news today what a tragedy, I can't imagine. May you find the strength to get through this. May your precious Emily RIP...'

'Our family and our hearts share the pain of losing Emily. We shared the joy of her naming at Agudas, and bow in grief at her death with her friends and extended family members. The Angels weep, and welcome her. May she be remembered always for a blessing with a smile, and tears.'

'My thoughts and prayers go out to Emily's family and friends. I wasn't lucky enough to have ever met her, but she was obviously a beautiful, smart, hard-working, kind, talented and athletic girl. In addition to that, I want to thank her for raising food allergy awareness and funds for Food Allergy Research & Education. I am so impressed that she raised money for FARE through her Bat Mitzvah and through our annual FARE Food Allergy Walk. It's wonderful that any young teen, especially one as busy as Emily, would raise hundreds of dollars to help improve the lives of so many others with food allergies. Kudos to her!! She will be on the minds of many San Antonio Food Allergy Support Team members and walk participants, especially at our walk on Sept. 30.'

'Although we did not have the pleasure of knowing your daughter first hand, we have heard so many wonderful things about her through our friends at Rawlinson. Our hearts are filled with sorrow for your loss and we pray for your family, especially during this most difficult of times.'

'Sybil and I send our deepest condolences. Emily was a most kind and genuine friend, and Sybil will ALWAYS treasure and appreciate their special friendship. I can't imagine the pain you are having to endure, and we are sending you immense love and endless prayers for comfort during this most terrible time. What a beautiful life full of adventure, love and joy you provided for Emily! 
My parents suddenly lost my older brother when he was 15, and I realize the pain never goes away, but my mother has always found a unique comfort specifically in hearing from his friends who loved him and who even to this day some 46 years later, still write to my mom. Please know that Emily touched Sybil's life in the most positive and supportive way possible. She was steadfast in her affection for Sybil, even when Sybil was having a hard time. I had not realized too that they were still communicating even more than a year after Sybil's final term. That's the kind of friend Emily was to Sybil. 
Emily had a contagious and positive energy that radiated effortlessly from her beautiful face and she will NEVER be forgotten! God bless her precious soul. Godspeed.'
