In my eight years of working at Longfellow BASP, I saw a number of kids come through the program. It's difficult to remember every single child I spent time with, but Emma is one of those kids I will never forget. Her toothless smile is forever ingrained in my memory. :-) She was such a sweet kid; always smiling, so playful and kind to others. My husband was on staff for the City High girls basketball program for a number of years and expressed the same sentiments about Emma as a high school student. I was so delighted to see Emma again, "all grown up", at basketball games. I hope you know how many lives she touched. Sending all our love and thoughts to lift you up through this difficult time.
