So one of our life events happened! Emma's biggest sister is getting married! Riley took me and David to The Grand Bohemian last September and told us he would be proposing to Carly on Easter weekend. I had to hold that in for SEVEN months!! Riley's family and our family were skulking in the shadows trying not to ruin the moment, waiting for the appropriate number of seconds to pass after he got down on one knee and opened the ring box! She said yes, as we knew she would, then she started crying, as we also knew she would!

Congratulations, Carly and Riley! We're so happy for you and so looking forward to whatever the future holds for you two. ♥️

We hope you put us on your calendar! See you in August!

The reality of my life is more exquisite than anything I ever imagined. The cold, hard truth is that my child died. But the magic in that truth is that she existed in the first place. I got to carry her in my body and grow her. The proof of love between me and the man of my dreams. She, the creation and mixture of our combined DNA. Our youngest child. A child we had the gift of watching for over 16 years. It was not enough, but it was still something.

I'm not sure how I continually mess up my posts, but this post was supposed to be here on our page dedicated to Emma and not on the admin page. So here it is again.

Clemson has added a URL that will take you to a page that allows you to donate directly to Emma's memorial scholarship.

You can still donate through our website echoesofemma.com as well. There's no difference. We have no paid staff, so everything that is donated, with the exception of party expenses (band, food, bar, minor decor), goes to the scholarship.

This has grown into a scholarship fund that can truly help some Greenville County students get the education they desire. Thank you so much for working with us to achieve this!

We held our 5th annual fundraiser, and I have so many emotions and thoughts swirling through my brain. I want to especially recognize and thank these women who have organized the silent auction for five years. They have, without a doubt, put the most time and effort into our yearly events. Their planning and outreach to the community starts months before the party. Their experience from school fundraising enabled us to have a quality auction starting the first year. It's also incredibly meaningful to me that we as a family have such a long and sweet history with these friends. Most of us raised our children together in the Pebble Creek bubble. It was a magical place for kids to grow up. One of them was Emma's teacher. I hold that in my heart. I want each of these girls, as well as any that worked on a former year, to know that we don't take it for granted. You have gone above and beyond, and we are so grateful.

[a note from Sally: it's been my desire for decades to help young artists gain exposure for their work. David and I (Emma's mom and dad), along with Candi Bolt and The Village Grind, are hosting an art show at The Village Grind on September 5th from 6 to 9 pm. I'm so excited about this, and I hope you'll mark your calendars and come out to support and encourage our younger generation!]

Join us for a debut show that empowers the emerging voices of young artists. Hosted at The Village Grind located in the heart of West Greenville’s art district, the show offers an inviting setting to experience work that challenges process, imperfection, and experimentation of artist identity. The show will feature a range of mediums including mixed media, fiber, photography and printmaking by Lyndall Harris, alongside select works by guest artists Jane Armstrong and Drew Gaddis. Step into a space made for connection, creativity and community.
