We meet here today as a community to grieve the Brinkerhoff family’s unexpected and terrible loss of Emma. A tragic tragedy at her house on December 13th took Emma’s life, and her passing has left a hole that will be hard to fill for everyone who knew her.
When Emma was around, she brightened everyone’s day. She won the hearts of many with her kind personality and welcoming smile. We are filled with immense grief by her absence, since she gave joy when she was here.
As we gather here tonight, we extend an invitation to the community at large to join us in paying tribute to Emma. In spite of the sadness, this gathering is a symbol of the support and love that the Brinkerhoff family has at this tough time.
In addition to sharing memories and showing support to the family, there will be an auction and a unique chance to photograph moments with The Grinch. Please contact any local companies that might be interested in donating to the auction.
Help the Brinkerhoff family with life flight, medical, and funeral expenses with the money you raise tonight. We are really grateful for your thoughtfulness and support at this difficult time.
Those of you who are unable to donate monetarily may still help a great deal by sharing this event and encouraging others to do the same. Helping out the family in any way you can is a huge relief at this difficult time.
Our hearts hurt at Emma’s departure, but we take comfort in remembering her and standing with her family. During this challenging process of recovery, your love and kindness are priceless. Your kindness and fortitude have been an inspiration to me at this difficult time.
