Growing up with Emily

I am only six months older then Emily. She was a great friend and I miss her greatly. I have many fond memories of her and I playing together. The one memory that has been going through my mind since Dec 23 is this, I remember at church we must have me like 5 or 6 and we would get together after the church service and we would 'sell' books. We would say 'books for sale, books for sale' a lot of people smiled and some pretended to buy them from us.

We went on a couple missions trips together. We spent time at each others homes. It is so hard to believe that she is gone. I really miss her. She has touched so many lives.
