As many of you know, my wife Emily just passed away unexpectedly Saturday December 17, 2016  Emily had a heart of gold.  She was always concerened about how everyone else felt before herself.  We have been together for 16 years and have been married for 11.   Emily has 2 beautiful daughters Madison 16 who is my step-daughter and Delaney 11 who we had together.
I remeber our first date.  We met at TGIF in Columbia, MD.  We were having some drinks and apitizers when she started an arm wrestling contest on the bar, she later told me she did that because she wanted to hold my hand.  What a beautiful loving women and I was amazed by her.

      We are absolutely devestated and overwhelmed with grief.  We have already spoken with the funeral director and are preparing for her cremation and memorial once she is released from the medical examiner's office. We are in need of help for expenses.  Our community has graciously started a fund raiser locally, but are in need of additional help.  Anything is appreciated.  Emily is my rock and I don't know what to do without her.  She has made our daughters the beautiful, caring and most gracious children.  I am proud and grateful to have been her husband.  I wish could tell her just how much she meant to everyone.  Emily, may you be in the loving arms of God and in complete peace.  I love Emily more then words can say.  Til I see you again.  Love Michael
