Please give little Jacob a hug for me. May God bless you. CHELSEA TOBIAS, JULY 27, 2006 Dear Kip and Kathy, Emma's smile and eyes were always so amazingly bright, and it was a joy when she would come up to the office, a lot of times just her and Kip; she could somehow turn one cookie into three.

She's a little hero who will never be forgotten. God Bless. SHAWN & TIM MAKOVICKA, JULY 23, 2006 Kip, we missed you at the 20 yr. reunion. Randy said your daughter was not doing well. I am so sorry to hear about Emma's passing. Your family is our prayers. My niece's 5 month old little girl, Payton, passed away in 2002 and my brother's son, Matthew, died at birth. Nothing anyone can say or do will bring back your beautiful little Emma, but do know she has two special friends who have welcomed her to Heaven and are going to look out for her until you see her again. This poem was one of my niece's favorites after the loss of her little girl, Payton. "Celestial Flight" She is not dead-but only flying higher, Higher then she's flown before, and earthly limitations Will hinder her no more. There is no service ceiling, Or any fuel range. And there is no anoxia or need for engine change. Thank God that now her flight can be To heights her eyes scanned, Where she can race with comets, And buzz the rainbow's span. For she is universal, Like courage, love and hope, And free, sweet emotions Of vast and godly scope. And understand a pilot's fate Is not the thing she fears, But rather sadness left behind, Your heartbreak and your tears. So all of you loved ones, dry your eyse, Yes, it is wrong that you should grieve, For she would love your courage more, And she would want you to believe, She is not dead. You should have known That she is only flying higher, Higher then she's ever flown. Your family is in our prayers. Carla CARLA HEIMBIGNER (ALLEN), JULY 23, 2006 My thoughts and prayers to all the family who loss this sweet angel! Im so sorry and my heart aches so much with the family. SANDY F KIRBY, JULY 23, 2006 My thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue to be with you and your family.
