I would like to thank everybody who gave their support by visiting her site and signing her guestbook. That means a lot and it shows how much people really do care. I would like to give a big thank you to Saralyn for redesigning Emily's Guestbook from a plain white to a beauitful stary background with horses to sepreate each entry and the Celine Dion song "My Heart Will Gone On".. You done a wonderful job Saralyn. Thank you so much.

April 21st, 2004 - My memorial for you in the paper came out today. Looks really good. I hope everybody likes it. I wrote that from the bottom of my heart.

April 22nd, 2004 - The mock daster at school was today. Your mom made pamplets to hand out to the kids about you and the accident. My cousin said that kids were just making fun of the daster and was saying how they wanted to go get drunk this weekend. How only they knew how much pain and grief drinking and driving can cause. They are still young but old enough to know better. I wish more of them would take the most daster and the pamplet to heart and realize that this does happen and it hurts so much. I just wish they never have to go threw what everybody that loved you went threw when we lost you. If they do, I hope they learn that losing somebody hurts so much and they quit drinking. Young people just think they are immortal and nothing bad will ever happen to them but when it does, they stop and think only for a moment then go right back to doing it. It's like they don't even care about life and who it will hurt when they are gone or an innocent person who they could be putting in jepoardy. I just wish that people would wake up and realize what they are doing before somebody gets seriously hurt or possibly killed. Drinking and Driving is just plain out stupid and there is NO reason or excuse to make up for the wrong doing. It's very disrespectful and if you want people's full respect, DONT EVER drink and drive. It could be the last decision you ever do so make the right decision.

April 23rd, 2004 - Today I put up the memorial I made for you in the paper on the site for everybody to see. Also put up the Mock Daster Pamplet your mom handed out to the high school kids. My cousin saved this one for me. Happy Birthday to little Michael!

April 28th, 2004 - Today you recieved your 3,00th visitor. Talked to Nichole for a couple of hours. She read the memorial I wrote and had tears in her eyes. Nichole told me that Mary went to prom this year with a boy doll with a sticker on him saying "Mr. Perfect". I would have loved to seen that. That would have been so funny to see. Casie also sent me an offline message said she loved the memorial as well and checks the site every week.

May 1st, 2004 - Today is my 21st Birthday. Wishing you were here with me. Early this morning around 4 a.m., two cars wrecked on Webb's Curve on 41, hit a tree and two were killed. One was 24 and the other was 33. The 33 year old had a wife and couple of kids. The other two involved were taken to the hospital, one doing really well. All of them was coming from a party drunk and drag racing each other. It's sad to hear the loss of somebody but when they was old enough to know better than to drink and drive, it makes you angery. Their families and friends are the ones now suffering from their decisions that could have been easily avoided. It's like people never ever think it will happen to them. It can and it will if you dont stop and think what you are doing. Life is a precious gift, take it seriously; not to be played around with.
