Testimonials

“I didn’t personally know Kristen at the time of Emy’s death. I had heard her name, but that was all. I remember that Sunday morning being told at church of the tragedy. My heart truly ached for her, and I began praying for the family. In the weeks and months to follow, I continued praying for this stranger.

On many Sunday mornings I found myself several rows behind Kristen. To watch her during worship was truly moving. She would raise her hands high and praise our Heavenly Father. It moved me to tears on many occasions and caused me to be faithful in my prayers for her healing. Time passed, and I continued to see Kristen’s faithfulness to the Lord. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to really get to know her, and I’m happy to now call her friend. I have watched her struggle, praise, and struggle some more, and experience great victory. It is humbling to see how the Lord can turn tragedy into something good. I’m thankful for the testimony of Kristen and Emy. I know God will use her foundation to bless and minister to many people.”

“As Emy’s mammy and mother of Kristen, my heart was shattered the day Emy went to heaven. She was an angel sent by God for a short time. We made many memories and Emy helped me through one of the scariest diagnosis in my life, cancer. She brought pure joy to everyone. Emy impacted so many lives while here on Earth and watching my daughter follow the calling from the Lord inspires me and so many around her.

I have seen Kristen at rock bottom, but I have also witnessed her strength, determination, and resilience that only comes from the Lord. I am so proud of Kristen and her determination to let the Lord use her tragedy to show His abundant faith, hope, and love. We love and miss you so much Emy!”

"I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you thank you. You have no idea what you've done but I'm fixing to share it with you. About a week ago I was set, prepared, and in my last moments of ending my life. I had slowly taken my medication all morning so I could be numb. Enough that if I messed up and didn't succeed the meds would finish me. I WAS DARK and had been fighting demons since the age of 13. Many of these I had NEVER spoken to anyone about. I was hopeless and felt I was so damaged I could never be fixed and I would only damage anyone that came into my life.

I opened my phone and when I unlocked it my Facebook app was open and your post was right there and out of all the words in there I saw one word and it was 'ALONE'. I read the post because I thought to myself, 'see she's alone too and has every reason to want to give up'. But it said, 'you are not alone' and I was holding a pistol to my temple with the safety part of the trigger already squeezed. God used you to save my life. I threw the gun and then became scared I was going to die of an overdose. I called my mom screaming and crying and told her I needed help.

Thank you for showing your strength and weakness while living the worlds worst nightmare. If you can survive I definitely can survive. God used you to save my life because you are His child just as I am His child. I will forever love you and I admire you. You are my living hero and it's all because of your strength in Christ. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are truly an angel!"

“I had a package in the mail and I thought it was something I ordered. When I opened it and took a double take at the package I saw your name. I pulled out the book and read your note. When I read the P.S. and literally pulled the necklace out it took the breath out of me. I wore it because I was with my Gran. God’s timing is so perfect. I felt sweet little Emy with me. I can never repay you for your love and kindness but you sure made my day complete. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I don’t even have big enough words to describe to you how much happiness filled me instantly”.
