View all 38 ReflectionsI believe I attended High School with Emily and she left somewhere around our Junior year. If she spent time in Cincinnati and this is her she was an amazing person. Either way Godspeed Officer. If this is the Emily I remember thank you for your service and just being you when we were young.
