EMMY<br />

IN LOVING MEMORY<br />

December 18, 2012 - March 2, 2016<br />

Little Warrior Emmy was diagnosed with NUT Midline Carcinoma<br />

in 2015. Less than one year later, Emmy’s parents were given the<br />

devastating news that there was nothing more that they could<br />

do for their sweet girl. On March 2, 2016, Emmy passed away<br />

peacefully her moms arms.<br />

“Emmy was full of spunk. Had her mamas attitude to the t. She<br />

was perfect in so many ways. I will forever miss my baby girl.<br />

But I’m relieved she isn’t in anymore pain... The nasty C may<br />

have taken [Emmy] away but her spirit will live on forever in our<br />

hearts. There will never be a day that I don’t think about her,”<br />

writes Emmy’s mom.<br />

Emmy was a beautiful, bright-eyed tomboy. She was the middle<br />

of three children and loved Mickey Mouse and Strawberry<br />

Shortcake. She loved snuggling up with her blankets (as you see<br />

here, with one of her collection of 10!) and the color purple.<br />

Emmy is SO loved, and one of the very inspirations behind the<br />

Little Warrior shirt. She will always be a little warrior, but more<br />

importantly, a beautiful, precious little girl, who at just three years<br />

old, captured the hearts of many.
