My heart breaks for you and your family Jack.
Having left SC 40 years ago I was never blessed with the opportunity to spend any time with Emily, her brothers and your wonderful wife Emily. Having just learned of Emily's passing please accept my apology for not having been more supportive of my best childhood friend.
May God Bless your family with peace in knowing that Emily has been called to heaven and is watching over your family.
I miss you my friend.....

Our thoughts and prayers have been with all of you. Emily was a very special and strong young lady...and an incredible insurance woman! I continue to be inspired by her determination and positive energy. I am so very thankful she passed through our office and our lives on her life journey. Love and Peace to you all.

To the family & friends of Emily Brown Kocis
I wanted to say that I was sorry to hear of your loss. I truly hope that you are able to find joy in your fond memories of her. How comforting it is that God keeps in his memory those who are precious (Psalm 116:15) to him, promising them life once more.

Dear Ellen and Jack:. I never knew Emily as a grown up woman with a family of her own. I still remember that cute quiet sweet girl on our Pelham Falls swim team who would try everything and do her best for her team. With her personality and ambition, I knew she would grow up to be successful with great parents showing her the way. I can't imagine the loss you must feel and her young family as well. My sincerest condolences to you and all her family.

You would always encounter such a positive and uplifting person in Emily. While our time together as mentor/mentee was for a season, I learned so much and especially watching your strength and determination. You adored Brad, your family and made decisions that put them above any professional dream you had. Such an unbelievable mom you became. It was my privilege to have time with you to talk about your dreams. Prayers for peace and strength to your family
