I met Emma April 29th of this year. Two days before she passed. We had a very fun evening. Playing pool, listening to music, sharing our life stories. I’m sorry I couldn’t get to know you better. You were a great lady.

Sometime around 2009, 2010. Emma was with me when we saw a huge mountain lion in the Unitas.
You don’t see mountain lions every day.
David let Emma go camping with us on our annual Holley camp out near Stillwater. David hates camping. Emma came along and was seriously the equivalent of Bear Grylls; fearless, adventurist, outdoor survival skills, & possession of dangerously sharp objects. She was tough to keep an eye on.
Uncle James & I took a bunch of the kids out fishing until sundown one night. On our way back to camp, less than a mile from it, a mountain jumped across the road. It was less than 20 yards in front of our headlights. It was so huge it expanded the two lane highway from head to tail. I think James & I screamed “holy crap! Oh my gosh! Did you see that?” twenty+ times when Emma finally said: “yeah we saw it too you guys, calm down”. I saw a mountain lion with my sweet niece Emma. My (our) first and only experience.

I always think of Emma as a bonus daughter. She and Kristen grew up together and they were the most delightful and mischievous pair. I have so many memories of those two giggling together. Oh, how I love Emma! I love the whole big Holley clan and know that our lives are better because of our relationships. I love you all and am so sorry for this loss.

It’s difficult to put into words what an immense loss this is. I feel so blessed to have been Emma’s friend and to have grown up together. she brought joy, creativity, and laughter with her wherever she went. Emma was always braver than I was. She was always the one taking us on adventures and helping me out of my comfort zone. Most importantly, she taught me how to cook ramen. I love you Emma and I hope you know how important you are and how loved you are and always will be. Thank you for showing me true authenticity, courage, and compassion.

David, Jerie, and all the Holley clan, I hope you all know just how much I love you all. David and Jerie, you’re home was one of my favorite places to be and I will be forever grateful for your example of love and kindness. My heart goes out to you all.

I’ll love and miss Emma for the rest of my life. She was my best friend for three and a half years. She made me laugh constantly, she was a great dancer, an awesome artist, she could sing, she was kind, gorgeous, and I’ve never been so close to anyone else. I’m so thankful that I got to spend the time with her that I did. It’ll never seem like enough and I’ll always regret not being with her more.
I’m sorry for your family’s incredible loss.

Emma, I love you so much! I am so happy that you were able to live at home with me and Ryan so that I could grow closer to you, and that you were able to have an amazing relationship with Ryan who adores you. Thank you for always being a nonjudgmental ear to listen, for loving so fiercely, and taking life's challenges as they came without complaining. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. We will love you forever and cherish every memory that we have of you. Sorry for complaining about the hair dye stains in the shower.
