Does anyone remember 'Emmasgrammy'..has anyone had contact?

[natsmom125]

I can't believe it's been a year. I can remember sitting at my desk bawling my eyes out.

I too lost the purple ribbon when my computer crashed earlier.

Raine...thanks for posting the link again. I'll get the computer guys to help me with it tomorrow.

I guess we should all appreciate what we have a lot more than we do.

In memory of Amanda, Emma and Sophie.....
And thinking about Lynda, Mike and David...

I also lost my ribbon when we had to change everything over on my computer. Thank you CM Mom for the link.

I also remember the sad day when I woke up to read the story on the DIS boards. I think of them every time I go in the den and see the smoke detector sitting on top of our computer desk. I had DH place it there after learning of their tragedy.
My thoughts and prayer to their family today.

Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about them. The Disney cruise is the happiest memory for my entire family and I'm sure Emma's Grammy feels the same way. I can't even begin to wrap my mind around the incredible grief.
If they are reading this, please know that your faceless Dis-friends are still here praying for your strength and think of Amanda Emma and Sophie often. When little Sophie lost her battle the entire Dis-family felt it.
God Bless and hang in there.

I have been thinking about them a lot lately too! Must be a DIS connection!

Because of what happened, I must say I always make sure the batteries in all of my smoke alarms are changed and tested every daylights savings time - I do not pull the batteries out if they happen to go off when I am cooking like I used to do - (because I would never remember to put them back) I just feel something has to be learned from this -

Their tragedy really weighs heavy on my heart - My thoughts and prayers continue to be with them - especially with the anniv coming up -

I haven't poked around on the cruise board for quite awhile since my next DCL cruise is 440 days away. Strange that I picked today and came across this thread. I remember how upset I was when that happened. Hard to believe it's been a year already.

Hi, I too, will never forget the tragedy concerning the great loss for Emmasgrammy and her family. It affected us all tremendously. I remember reading the Typhoon Lagoon story. I remember when she posted the wonderful photos from their cruise. When I think of Emma, I envision the photo of her sitting inside the large porthole with the ocean in the background.

I remember reading a very sad post from Mike some months back when they cancelled a cruise they had originally planned before the tragedy. It brought it all back to me. Now, whenever I think of going into a Disney store, I think of how difficult it was for Emmasgrammy to try to go inside one and had to leave when she started to cry. I can't imagine the pain and loss for that family. My prayers are with them. We have not forgotten. We never will. God bless Emmasgrammy and her family.

I remember her all too well. Those pictures she posted just days before were beautiful and then a tearful reminder all at the same time. I hope they are recovering or dealing the best they can.

As much as I want to put up the Red Sox picture, the ribbon can't be replaced.

 

[timswoman]

I followed this tragic story on this board from day one. I did not know them personally but I knew them thru the posts I read. I often think of them. I cried everyday at every post.

 

[Regina]

I was thinking of them recently as well. It puts so much into perspective.

More thoughts and prayers going their way on this terrible anniversary.

 

[challada]

I have kept them in my prayers and hope I can still send out more prayers for this family. I somehow lost my previous purple ribbon in my sig so will add the new one...thanks!

Mickeyhugger, thank you so much for starting this thread.

The Ritter and Esposito families are in my continued thoughts and prayers, for the loss and pain they have suffered is beyond comprehension. I do not know them personally, but as a Dis member, feel we are all 'kindred spirit.' I rec'd a T/Y card, which asked for continued prayers as they cling to their faith.

It brings me comfort to read some of Lynda's fun posts telling of her joy and excitement when they cruised with little Emma and also the joyous birth of little Sophie.

May God bless Lynda, Mike, their daughters and SIL David and may the happy memories in their hearts continue to guide them through their suffering. May HIS grace grant them continued faith, strength, courage and hope as they face each new day.

I might add, since this terrible fire, we have never left our computers on when leaving home or when alseep.

just adding more prayers for the family on the very sad anniversary.

 

[Verandah Man]

Lynda, Mike, Dave and the rest of the Family,

All of you remain in my thoughts and prayers, especially now. May God continue to give you the strength you need to make it through each day.

God Bless,

Andy

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

May the happy memories of your girls help make the days go better.

Hoping you are doing well today,
love, Jan

I think it's so great that someone remembered that this was the anniversary of that tragedy. This is one of those moments when we stop debating relative trivialities and the best of the DIS really shines through.

Hug someone you love in honor of EmmasGrammy and her family.

 

[BethC1952]

I think of them every day. My granddaughter Shannan (5) looks almost exactly like Emma did. In fact, I have a picture of Shannan that is almost a duplicate of the one that emmasgrammy had in her sig.

I see Shannan every day--and make sure that I hug her and tell her I love her each time I see her. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her.

The families are always in my prayers.

I can't believe it's been a year. I can remember sitting at my desk bawling my eyes out.

I all too well remember. I know how hard 1st year anniversaries are and I hope that they get strength from those around them.

 

[DutchsMommy]

I see her great anecdote about the 'bathing suit incident' every so often on here and it always brings a smile. I too offer my prayers and hope that one day she'll be able to come back to the DIS.
