My husband and I met Emily through her husband, John “Bucky” Sestack. We double dated and remained close friends for many years. Bucky was our Best Man at our wedding, and when he and Emily decided to get married she decided to convert to Catholicism. My husband Carl and I were her Godparents, when she was Baptized into the Catholic Faith. My husband has since passed away, however, I was very sad to hear the news of Emily’s passing. To her surviving family members, my sympathy at this sad time, and May her soul rest eternal..... May the memories of Emily, bring joy to her family and friends

My aunt was the most exciting adult I knew when I was a little kid. She would always bring me a gift from her travels, which very much added to my antisipation to travel myself. Even though I barely knew her in my own adulthood still i was very glad to have known her. She was a very good aunt for a kid. I'm sad I didn't get to visit with her again. The strain of her tragic family scenario spilled over and was too much to bare. We still live in very tough times when life can be cut short at any time. I barely got to spend any time with my Uncle John. But still I love him very much and I love my Aunt Emily very much as well..... May they have that peace they so desperately needed.
