Thank you.
If you’re here, it’s probably because you knew Emily, so there’s no further introduction needed. But in case you didn’t, just know that she was a wonderful person, and a lot of people miss her a lot.
Some of this site is about memories - stories, photos, and even parts of her memorial service. But some of it is about what we - her friends and family - are still doing to celebrate her life and spread some joy. Please look around. We’re glad you’re here.
The Service
Many people have asked for copies of words that some of Emily's friends read at her memorial service. Read them here now.
Stories
Read some longer stories about Emily. Have one yourself? Send something in to be posted on the Stories page. stories@emilybright.com
Photos
If you just have some pictures that you think everyone would love, send those in, too. We'd love to see them. photos@emilybright.com
The Book
What if bees made cheese? Amy Barefoot and Dave Alsobrooks took Emily's query and ran with it. Check out the wonderful children's book they created, and then buy a copy. Proceeds go the OCRF.
The Walk
Emily's posse walked in the Gail Parkin's Ovarian Cancer Awareness Walk on Sep 27, 2008. It was excellent, and we raised some good money. Now it's annual thing for us. Come join in.
The Run
This year, we organized the first annual Bright Night 5K to remember Emily and raise more money for ovarian cancer awareness, research, and treatment. There's no page yet on this site about it, but please visit the event website to learn more about it.
