Emilie and I went to college for a yr. together...lost touch...then reconnected about a year before she became ill. Emilie was an amazing friend who always put others first..even when she wasn't feeling well. She was married for over 14 years to Frank Cordell and they have a son Eli, who is now almost 12. I miss Emilie's pure spirit and true friendship. We could laugh and talk about anything. I still can't believe we lost her to lung cancer at 32. I take the loss of Emilie as a message to live fully and laugh while I'm here. When we all meet after 25 years...there will be several of our graduating class missing. Let's pause to remember those classmates we passed in the halls all those years ago.
