That's so sad Tom....I commend you for all you and your community are doing to help out.

What a beautiful girl and tragic story.  I feel for her family!

Tom,

My heart goes out to this family and I'm glad to hear that the community is helping them....it's heartbreaking to hear of such a young life being taken.

Thank you for all you do,

Jo 

That's so sad. She was so pretty. :(

Wow, such a sad story.  Thank you for bringing it to our attention.  God Bless the family.

Tom... this is truly sad....   I hate hearing stories as this.... especially those that touch a community, that are so close to the heart.  My prayers and thoughts go out to her family and friends...

Didn't hear about her, Tom. It's a real shame. We're having a particularly nasty allergy season this spring. With all the rain we had this winter, everything is growing and blooming and pollinating like mad and all us asthmatics are bleary eyed and honked up. Thanks for bringing this to people's attention.

Reading things like this sure puts my problems in perspective.

Such a tragedy! I can't even imagine losing one of my children. Unfortunatly, asthma is a scary thing. Especially for one that suffers from it. You are a sweetheart for stepping up and helping out. Bless you Tom.

Tom, you have such a big heart, as does your community.  How wonderful that you call come together to help each other during such tragedies.

Sally - Thank you. We have a community with a huge heart.

Dawn - It's so tragic.

Jo - It's the least I can do. If we spread the word, her family can get the help it needs.

Lindsay - She was a beautiful young lady... sad, sad loss.

Bob - Thanks for your kind words.

Jeff - Many thanks.

Geno - It's been a rough spring. This really brings to the forefront the problems asthmatics suffer.

Susie - It sure does, doesn't it?

Lissa - It's a parent's worst nightmare.

Diane - It's heart-warming to see how we all come together.

Tom - that is such a sad story - thank you for sharing with the ActiveRain community!

Bill & Barbara-Jo - Thanks. I think stories like this need to be shared.

I love you Emily! :( And thank you Tom, you have such a kind heart. Emily was one of my friends, and the sad thing is that I had only seen her about two times, the first was when her friend Allie, introduced me to her. The second was when I went trick-or-treating with them. She was so nice and she was always happy. We emailed each other a lot..and it breaks my extremely sad that she is gone. I cannot imagine what Mr. and Mrs. Locricchio are going through right now..I hope they are doing ok.

Sean - I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It sounds like she was a wonderful person. This story broke my heart.

Tom- Thank you so much you are such a caring person for helping emilys family.

Chandler - Thanks for your many comments. It's clear Emily touch many lives.

Michelle - I think it's impossible to imagine what her family and friends have gone through.

Yea Emily did touch many lives and her was so sudden it was so hard to belive she was actually gone cause we were together everyday at school. I think the hardest thing was her funeral cause know one wants to see there best freind just laying there so lifless. And my other freinds named emily who put a comment on here she is so awesome cause we have just been helping eachother through this.

Chandler - My heart is with you. I'm so sorry you lost your friend.

Tom- Thank you so much!!! You truley have a heart of gold just like emily because she always helped people.
