almost one year she’s gone. Life is precious to everyone, even harsh at times, but, it just proves we have been here…

I had the pleasure of knowing Emma through her fervent volunteerism with a group of high school girls who were daring to dream for something more. During the spring of 2008 Emma and Nona gave their time talent and energy to the young ladies of Step Up Women’s Network “I Dream to…” Photojournalism program. People choose to volunteer for a number of reasons; some to build a resume and others to feel satisfied knowing they did their good deed for the week or the year. Neither of these things crossed Emma’s mind when she shared her time with our girls. Emma gave week after week because she forged a genuine and selfless connection with each young woman we worked with. She brought life, passion, curiosity, knowledge, humor, honesty and love to her time with us. She did more than show them how to take a picture or to share a unsuspecting quip about feminism – which she delightedly did often. Emma showed myself and those she touched how to deeply care and how to live life ignited with passion. The shortened duration of her existence with us is surely surpassed by the amount of life she managed to inspire in her few years.

There are no words – Emma’s spirit will survive in all of us who strive for the positive ideals of feminism and artistic ventures.

I sigh. I don’t know what to say. It just breaks my heart. Peace to you, my sisters. I’m so sorry she struggled with such pain. I wish I could have been there to try and change her mind, if I could have.

I think about Emma and miss her every day. I know how important this project was to her. She talked with me about the book each time we spoke. If I can do anything to help bring it to completion as she would want, I’m here to help.
