During the spring of 2008 Emma and Nona gave their time talent and energy to the young ladies of Step Up Women's Network "I Dream to…" Photojournalism program. People choose to volunteer for a number of reasons; some to build a resume and others to feel satisfied knowing they did their good deed for the week or the year. Neither of these things crossed Emma's mind when she shared her time with our girls. Emma gave week after week because she forged a genuine and selfless connection with each young woman we worked with. She brought life, passion, curiosity, knowledge, humor, honesty and love to her time with us. She did more than show them how to take a picture or to share a unsuspecting quip about feminism – which she delightedly did often. Emma showed myself and those she touched how to deeply care and how to live life ignited with passion. The shortened duration of her existence with us is surely surpassed by the amount of life she managed to inspire in her few years.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen MurphyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476321794883547115.post-43392765496974880272009-01-04T20:43:00.000-06:002009-01-04T20:43:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry for your loss.

As I told her mom, all I knew of Emma was her vivacity and intelligence, and I had no idea that she was going through such turmoil. I feel all I can do--besides try to understand the inconceivable grief that her family and closest friends must be experiencing right now--is send along my love, and also hopes that you follow through on GIRLdrive as a testament to the influence that Emma exerted during her short time here.Maria B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05326441916618330853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476321794883547115.post-40053874226103086892008-12-27T13:12:00.000-06:002008-12-27T13:12:00.000-06:00I am so terribly sad to hear of Emma's passing, No...I am so terribly sad to hear of Emma's passing, Nona. You two came to my apartment in San Francisco and interviewed my daughter Rebecca and me. I was struck by the life force, beauty, energy, smarts, and savvy you two possessed. As the mother of two daughters your and Emma's age, I'm especially saddened to learn that Emma suffered such heavy emotional burdens. Please continue the project, Nona, and see its completion; there couldn't be a better tribute to your dear friend.
