Emily Beth Maria Loane

Hi, my name is Nicki and I'm trying to raise money for the expenses of my baby sister Emily's unexpected passing; which simply includes cremation and burial services.

Emily was the baby of us siblings, born to Paula and William (Bucky) Loane on May 9, 2008. She departed this world at the premature age of 15 on January 12, 2024.

Emily was a beautiful, vibrant, loving, empathetic and kind soul.

She was a freshmen at Rolla High School and an avid member of band.

Emily was a music enthusiast, she loved listening to a wide array of music and playing both the saxophone and guitar.

I could write a novel speaking to all my little sister is to me and to each member of our family. I could tell of the immeasurable hole her passing has left in our family and our hearts, or the indescribable pain we carry every

moment of every day living a life

without her in it. However there simply

aren't words big enough.

I can express that we are doing everything as a family to pay our way in these unexpected expenses.

I detest that money is at all relevant right now, for it feels so very insignificant.

And although gofundme requires a goal, a number... we do not have any expectations or numerical goals of any kind. I am simply a person asking for help.

Thank you in advance for any and all contributions, prayers and words of compassion.

Thank you for your love and empathy. Please know that we are deeply grateful and appreciative of every act of kindness and of everyone of you.
