So sorry to hear this... Rest in Peace Emily. My sincerest condolences to her family. She was a great person.

Rest in Peace Emily. From childhood memories,  I remember Emily being a caring and sensitive person. I'm sure in her life, she made the world a lot brighter to be apart of.  Though you are gone, you are not forgotten. Blessings to you and your family on the next steps at this difficult time.

We have so many memories of Emily. Sleepovers (and there were many), campfires, talking, laughing, lots of friends and parties throughout elementary school and high school. Emily was like one of the family. More recently we had a visit with her on a trip to Vancouver. What a beautiful young woman she became. Words cannot express the sadness we feel right now

Deepest of sympathies to you and your family on the lose of your precious daughter, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Dear Kathy, Dave, Chrissy and Dan 

We are extremely saddened to hear of dear Emilys passing. We will always remember that happy, smiling face as a little girl at Bellmore School.  She was a  true delight and will be remembered by everyone she touched. Keeping you in our prayers and thoughts, Dan and Cindy McClung and family.

Emily was always the sweetest. She always made sure she said hello to me whenever I saw her around. Shocked and sad about her passing. RIP Emily.

I only have fond memories of Emily. Growing up together, she was always so vibrant, beautiful and brilliant. What a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones. She will be missed by many.

I went to high school and university with Emily, she was such a kind and beautiful person. She is one of the main reasons why I made it through science. My deepest sympathies to her family and everyone who had the opportunity to get to know her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Emily's Family and closest friends. I have known this amazing woman for 20 years! She was always upbeat and happy and so kind to others. All through grade school and onto secondary she never changed and that says something about the kind of person she was. Thank you Emily. My husband and I will be making a donation in her name. May you rest in Paradise.

Emily was a teaching assistant last year in my cell biology lab class. She brought light and laughter to us all. I am finding it difficult to accept that she has left us so soon. Please know that she lives on in so many hearts.

May you rest in peace Emily. Gone way to soon. My thoughts go to Emily's family.

I worked with Emily a few years ago at Food Basics.I will never forget her.Such a beautiful girl inside and out.My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.    Ginny Walsh (Hamilton, Ontario)

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Emily at Food Basics. She worked with me in the office and she was always such fun to work with as she was so easy to embarrass and would blush uncontrollably. I was so proud of her when she would tell me what she wanted to do with her life.......and she did it! She has left her mark on this world but most of all, she has left a mark on our hearts❤ Truly, a lovely young soul and I am blessed to have had her in my life. My most heartfelt condolences to all of you❤

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time

To Emily's family and friends,
Having Emily as a classmate and friend here in Vancouver was such a blessing in our lives. Her constant laughter and humour made her so incredibly special to all of us. I will miss her forever, but will remember most of all her smiles, her smarts, her compassion, and her perseverance.  Thank you for sharing Emily with us. With deepest condolences,

Emily was a genuinely selfless person who, with every interaction, somehow made you feel happy. These are probably two of the greatest traits a person can have. You will be missed by many, Emily.

Dan - the Frisby family was so sorry to hear about your loss. This ugly disease has taken another life much to soon. We trust that Emily will live on in your heart forever. We send our deepest condolences.

Such a beautiful young woman inside and out.  Prayers for her peace and for the comfort of her family and friends.

I was lucky to have had the chance to meet Emily while at the University of British Columbia and am so grateful for the opportunity. As you all know, Emily was a caring, intelligent, and joyful person that was always looking out for her friends....her life was short, but she lived it fully and made a huge impact on those around her. Sending my thoughts and prayers to her family and friends closest to her.

Sending thoughts, prayers and love to my Uncle David, Aunt Kathy, Elaine and Cousin Crissy. Emily's smile and love will be in your hearts forever. Love you all.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Emily was one of those truly beautiful people that brought smiles and joy to the lives of others. Her ability to trudge through adversity while keeping a positive attitude is a rare trait that will be remembered and aspired too in those that knew her.  More than that, we'll remember her as tremendously fun and caring friend.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My condolences to Emily's family and friends. Gone way to soon.
