Emily Duits was one of my best friends and one that I could always count on. With Emily's passing on, I started to realize what was important in life and what needed to be cherished most. Em only had 16 years here with us, but I think that throughout those 16 years, she touched more lives than anyone could ever know.

I think that Emily truly did impact my life. I never really stopped to appreciate the things I had, or the people that were close to me. I just lived life day-to-day, and didn't think anything of it. As the months after Emily died went on, I started to realize that life was not something to be taken for granted. At any moment, life can change and your world can change instantly. The little things that I worried about didn't matter anymore, and all I did was thank God day-to-day for everything He has given me.

I am so thankful that I got to spend time with such a wonderful person, who blessed me in more ways that I can even think of. I can honestly say that she has completely changed the way I look at life, and all I can do is thank her for being such a wonderful friend, and for always being there for me. I don't know how my life would be today if I hadn't been able to spend even just a little time with her. I will always remember everything we did together, and I want to thank her for making me look at life in a completely new light. I love her with all of my heart, and I cannot wait until I get to see her again and thank her for being the best friend I could ever have. I can honestly say that I have a friend who changed me in so many ways and there is no way to put into words how much love I have for her. I miss her so much, and she is the best person I have ever known!
