Emily was a beautiful young woman who shared her infectuous smile with all of those who were in her presence. Like her parents, she reached out to others and made a difference in their lives. I was so sad to learn of her passing today: December 19,201🙏💐❤️

Friends and Famiily of Emily Eshelman Virkler,

I am sorry for your loss. I went to school with Emily from elementary school through Cornell although she graduated a year before me because I took a year off. Emily always seemed to have a positive attitude. I lost touch with her, but am impressed in how much she did in the short time that she was alive.

Words cannot convey how much Emily meant to us. She had such a great sense of humor and was so kind, sweet, and courageous. The pain we feel at her passing is a testament to the treasure she was on Earth. It was a tremendous joy, pleasure, and privilege to know her. She is so dearly missed.
