I was lucky to bond with Emily over the last few years as we both were bridesmaids in Zach & Meraya Devon’s wedding. We went on a trip together to Nashville, and all of us girls knew we would be safe with Emily and Ashley. She kept the energy going and made sure to help care for me when I wasn’t feeling good. And of course, she even made us all a spa kit including her homemade gifts, something I will cherish.

Oh, my "Emilyd".... how I will miss you.... You were like a 3rd kid in our family....Love you so much!  See you later....  <3

My prayers are with the family at this time. I remember Ron Devon from Bella Vista Church years ago. Lifting you up in prayer at this difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏

I was Blessed to be Emily’s Principal at City High School in Grand Rapids.  We had a special bond, because we also attended church together.
My heart is broken over her sudden loss, and that of 2 beautiful daughters.
I have peace knowing that Emily loved Jesus.  I know that doesn’t take away the pain and loss, but to her family and friends, I pray that God gives you peace.
Kyle, I never met you, but I know you must be special.  I’ll continue in prayer for you.
Joane, please know I’m also praying for you.  You were an awesome mom, and I’m sure an amazing Grandma.
Please accept my deepest sympathies, and know that you continue to be held close in my thoughts and prayers.  Love, Jane DeGroot

My sincere condolences to the families 🙏🏽 Emily was our neighbor growing up with my kids. I’m still neighbors with her mom. Words cannot express how heartbroken I was to find out about the passing of her and her beautiful daughters. I’m so sorry for your loss 🥲 May God keep everyone of you close to his heart and help you through this time of grief 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💞💞💞 You’re all in my prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💞💞💞

I’m going to miss you dearly, you were so bubbly and had so much energy, Three beautiful daughters, it’s just unbelievable that you are gone. I’m truly heartbroken 🥲RIH beautiful souls😘🥲💞💞

I love them and I always will. I wish I could be there for the burial but unfortunately it’s too far so I’ll send my love and prayers subliminally ❤️ I’m so extremely sorry for this tragedy and I hope there is endless love and support around Kylie and Kyle.

My condolences deeply goes out to Kyle and Kylie. There’s not enough words in the universe to comfort them or make all of this go away but by the grace of god I know that Emily and the girls are still right there next to them.

Amalia, my sunshine girl. Always so happy to try new things and be right there next to Kylie.  My heart aches for these three passings. I never got to meet Shiloh but Emily sent me pictures and she was beautiful.  They all were.

Emily has always been a bright light in my corner. She cared for me when I felt alone and she helped me with anything I came to her with. We always bonded over crafting and experimenting on new things. She was the mother i never had.

The Root Family were our neighbors in Spencer, NC.  They all were such blessings to our lives 🥰
Emily was a wonderful neighbor, always smiling and laughing.  Working in her garden and sharing her flowers.  Amalia was only one when we first met , becoming like one of our granddaughters, as did Kylie.  She would run into our arms as we walked in the neighborhood.
Shiloh was born after the family moved back to Michigan.  We loved watching her grow into a precious babe in pictures that Emily shared on FB.  
Kyle was an awesome Dad, as I am sure he continues to be with Kylie.
Our hearts are  broken, but we trust that God has plans we don’t understand.  
We pray for His peace for everyone 🙏❤️🙏

When me, my dad, Emily, Kyle, Amalia, and Kylie went to the zoo. I remember holding Amelia's hand while walking through the zoo looking at animals and other things like birds and such. Will miss them.

I am praying for your family.  I pray the Lord will be with you in your sorrow, uphold you with his strength, and through the generosity of love shown by others and God’s presence within your hearts, may you know you are not alone. He is with you, always 🙏🏼.

Our hearts ache for your family. We are deeply sorry to learn of such great loss. We pray the Lord will strengthen you when you feel weak and that He give you courage and peace for each tomorrow. We pray He fills you with hope and joy in spite of your loss and that His presence be a tangible comfort. May He be your everything. 
The Daramola Family (from CAB)

You were an amazing soul, Coach. You and your girls touched many peoples hearts. I will forever cherish the memories of playing with Amalia and Shiloh at games and practices, and will always admire the passion for softball that you passed on to your team. May you and your girls rest easy in our Lords arms, until we meet again.
