On Sunday, January 19, 2025, our beautiful warrior princess, Emma Rodriguez, was called home.

Emma loved defying the odds. She spent many of her infant and toddler years in the hospital and because of her prognosis for her rare illness, many doctors and research said she would not live past 24 hours. She fought like the warrior she was and God saw it fit that we enjoyed 9+ amazing years of joy, miracles, smiles, cuddles and sass.

Emma's bright spirit and boundless love touched every life she encountered in her nine years with us-both within the walls of our home and far beyond. Though she faced many challenges, her courageous heart and unbreakable tenacity always shone through, teaching us all about resilience and hope.

As you can imagine, we are deeply heartbroken. We are leaning on our faith and the support of our community to help us through this loss. In memory of Emma's beautiful life, we have created a GoFundMe page to help ease the homegoing financial responsibilities and the burdens of the days ahead. Any contribution will be received with heartfelt gratitude.

Most importantly, we invite you to stand with us in love and presence on Saturday, February 1st.
