I never met Emma but she is a sister in Christ so I will someday. I know her loved ones are having a hard time understanding God's way with this but He is holding your hearts and dancing with sweet Emma. Peace to all of you...praises to Jesus

Keith and Mercy, My heart hurts deeply for you in the loss of your beautiful and precious Emma. I had the joy of being in grace kids with her several times as well as seeing her early on Sunday mornings at worship practice when my daughter Jenai sang. What an amazing spirit, so joyfilled loving and tender hearted. Holding you close in prayer ❤

We have been praying for all of your family. We love you and will continue to pray for the Lord to give you His strength in the days ahead. Emma left a “Jesus” mark on all of us in the way that she loved and served His people. She will be missed by all of us, but we are rejoicing with you that she is with our Savior and will be there waiting for all of us to come Home to Jesus. Emma brought great joy to many and gave Jesus glory in the way she lives her life! She truly was a light for Jesus. Much love and prayers,
Matt 💜Lennea Hopkins and family

I remember how excited Mrs. D was went she found out that she was going to have her first grand baby she loved Emma so much before she was even born! Praying for comfort for all who know and love Emma! ❤️

I don't think I've ever met Emma, though I wish I had.

But I can say, with irrefutable faith, that she is not gone.

I was in district court on Monday morning. There was a woman there for an arraignment. She was severely distraught. I asked her if I could pray with her.

She asked if I would pray for her neighbors instead. For, they had just lost their daughter Emma in a tragic accident. Clearly, Emma is SO LOVED.

I immediately prayed for Emma and her family. I even prayer that my son , who passed away at 19, would find her and be her friend.

And then I prayed for the woman in court.

May God bless, comfort, and carry all friends and family.

In Jesus' name.

When thinking back on all the times I had the privilege of spending with Emma and Mercy, what I remember the most about this sweet spirited little girl was the light and love she had about her. She was so happy, energetic and loved being around friends. Her sweet spirit will be missed but I will always remember her light💗 and her smile.

Emma's grandparents sat in front of us at church. Emma would run down the aisle, run over to them and give them the BIGGEST hug with a beautiful smile Every time !! It brought tears to our eyes. What joy that brings to a grandparents heart and spirit. They know she will greet them one day in heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be !

I was a part of Keith and Mercy’s waiting for the arrival of little sweet Emma. She was a small miracle born to loving parents bound for a journey only God knew. The heavens must be much brighter with this gem called home to watch over her family. Young but mighty in her faith and spirit and love for God. Praying for comfort in the multitude of beautiful memories of such a joy taken too soon. 🙏
