September 9th, 2004 - Today another email friend of mine, Debbie, made you two more banners for your site and they both are so beautiful. I thanked her as well from the bottom of my heart. I added a banner page just for the banners so people can add them to their site so other people can know how wonderful you are.

September 10th, 2004 - Debbie sent me another banner she made for you and a blinkie of you and Howie. They are so beautiful Debbie, thank you so much.

September 12, 2004 - Today you recieved your 4,700th visitor. Today I added the other banner that Debbie had made for you onto the banner page. I also added another page of the things that I have found that remind me of you. I still miss you every single second.

October 16th, 2004 - I haven't updated in a while since I was moving. Haven't got the net hooked back up yet at my place so I am using my aunt's. I hung out with Michelle at Old Timer's Day and had a really great time with her. She is so funny. Catherine hugged me the first time she seen me up there. Michelle and me talk all the time on the net until we moved. I updated some of the pages: Pictures Made for You, Banner Page, and Things that remind me of you. I made three banners and a collage of pictures of you. I am pretty pleased on how they turned out.

November 15th, 2004 - I know it's been a while since I have updated but something about Java wouldn't let me update so finally today it let me. Not much as happened since October. I seen Casie last weekend at Wal-Mart. She is so nice and funny. I forgot to mention that I seen her up at Old Timer's Day as well. She is a really great person. I also forgot to mention as well that when Catherine first seen me at Old Timer's Day, she screamed out my name, came running and hugged me really tight. Catherine is so funny. I love that little girl. I noticed you have almost recieved your 6,000th visitor and I am very impressed on the impact your tribute site has put on people's lives. I wish they could have all met you in person. I still think about you every day and miss you. I look at our prom picture sitting on my computer desk and wonder what you would be doing today and how you would have looked. You would still be laughing, making wise cracks, having the time of your life, being there for people and doing what you did best, touching everybody's lives that you came across. That would never change about you.

December 8th, 2004 - I haven't updated in a long time due to a virus in my computer. I am trully sorry about that. Hopefully I will get that fixed so I can keep updating like I used to do. I still think about you every day.

December 9th, 2004 - Last night in Columbus, a crazed gunman gunned down Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott, the guitarist of Pantera and Damage Plan, along with three others before police shot and killed the gunman. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims' family and friends. May you find comfort in every memory you have of each of them.

December 25th, 2004 - Merry Christmas Emily. Your second one in Heaven.

December 30th, 2004 - I added two new banners and the report on drinking and driving. I seen where you have now recieved over 6,100 visitors and I want to thank each and every one of them for visiting and reading Emily's story. She meant so much to everybody that knew her.

January 12th, 2005 - Hope you had a wonderful New Year in Heaven Emmy.

January 21st, 2005 - Today Mandi from the Tori Ferrell memorial site sent me a banner she had made for you and it's aboustely beautiful. I love it. It wont load on here and I dont know why but I linked it so others can see how beautiful it really is. Mandi has also created a beautiful memorial to her friend Tori. Thank you so much Mandi for the banner.

January 26th, 2005 - I added a shocking report that a Vermont Lawmaker that wants to lower the drinking age to 18. Doesn't he realize that if he passes the law, there will be more grieving family and friends. Some people just don't have a brain in the world.
