Cahlik family, I wish like anything I could be there with you all right now. My heart goes out to your family and I am praying incessantly for you. I enjoyed watching the video and celebrating Emily's beautiful life. She will not be forgotten. She has marked my families life by her faith, passion, fervent trust in the Lord, and selfless perseverance to serve God with her life. Please be comforted during this time by the blanket of prayer that is surrounding you and know that many, many, individuals all around the country have been touched by your daughter and her life. Love you all. Prima

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this difficult time. I'm glad to know that Emily is in no pain now and is resting peacefully in the arms of the Lord. She was so beautiful and everyone who knew her was blessed to have her in their life.

I am very sorry for your loss. I did not know Emily, (but I'm sure she knew my son Jacob) nor do I know your family, but I know your pain, I lost my 17 year old son in november 2008. there will be darkness and sorrow for the rest of our lives, but we will also find moments of joy. I pray that God will wrap you in his loving, comforting arms and help you on this journey. No one volunteers for the title of grieving parent, nor do we want to wear these horrible concrete shoes, but someday, I hope we find a way to make them a little more comfortable until we can be with our children again.

By looking at Emily's photos and reading her guestbook, I can tell she was an amazing, beautiful young person. She was a "just" person, "the age that is honorable comes not with the passing of time, nor can it be measured in terms of years....She pleased God....Having become perfect in a short while, She reached the fullness of a long career" Wisdom 4:7-14

God Bless you and I am so very sorry you lost your daughter.

I remember those curls as if it was yesterday. She was a blessing to have in Children's Church at Cathedral. She was blessed with a great family. She will be missed. We are praying for you during this tough time.

Our prayers and thoughts have been with you and will continue to be with you. Emily's sweet smile is what we always think about...We love you all--

It is hard on a family to accept a death of a child.

Rely on God, and do not curse him. Rely on each other, and you will be stronger after the storm.

Memories are the moments that keep us looking to the bright future we have in Christ with each other and with Emily. We pray the memory of her infectious smile and strong character continues..... in all of us. Thanks Em for the great memories. Cahlik family, we love you guys.
