Emma Claire Reilly Memorial Fund

My dear friend Laura shared the message below the day after Emma was laid to rest. Beth (Emma's mom) is really one of a kind. She's the kind of person whose warmth and openness makes you feel like you've known her forever. She's the kind of person to always put others before herself. I am in awe of her strength and grace. Please consider making a donation in honor of Emma. 

Since our daughter was diagnosed with Rett syndrome almost four years ago, there have been a lot of sad and difficult days. But yesterday was one of the most heartbreaking. Yesterday, I watched my dear friend say good-bye to her daughter Emma, who was only 5 years old and died this week from complications of Rett. Beth may just be the strongest woman I know, and even when her life was crazy, she was always there for anyone else who was struggling. If you know Beth or know Rett syndrome (and even if you don't), please consider making a donation to help the family cover these unexpected funeral costs. (See info below.) And please send out into the universe wishes of strength and peace for Emma's grieving family.

There has been a fund set up at BB&T bank in memory of precious Emma, to assist Beth and Sean with funeral costs and medical bills. If you want to donate, you can make a check payable to "The Emma Claire Reilly Memorial Fund" and mail to the BB&T bank branch in Mt. Airy.

The address is:
