Emily.... We were both friends on TPS... My heart broke when i read of your death.. but Emi - you are in a better place. Far great than what we can ever understand until we get there. We miss you so much but love you even more than that... I long for the day to finally wrap you in my arms while you whisper, "You're Home" Oh Em.. miss you so much! God.... I cry out.. Your Beloved needs you now! We don't know why you allowed Emi to go Home so soon, but oh Lord - you know all things, even when we do not. Please comfort us Lord.. the hurt never seems to cease....
Unfortunately I wasn't blessed enough to know her personally, but I am a member of the Rebelution forum, which she was also involved with. The news rocked us all and we have been praying for her family. I hope they catch the man and I wish I could have known her.
I will keep the family in my prayers.RIP Emily
Emily and I had several mutual friends. They all talked about her like she was the sun and the moon, and after meeting her in a chatroom, I could see why. She was a lovely, bubbly angel who brought joy to everyone here, and now she is bringing joy to everyone in heaven
I am so sorry for you loss and yes she is in Heaven and I am sure you will miss her! Until you get to be there with her.
My prayers are with the family.
I am so deeply sorry to hear about Emily. What a beautiful glowing angel. I can't imagine the pain that you and your family must be going through. You're continually in my prayers, and I'm praying that God reveals who the perpetrator is. May God emanate his peace to you always, With love, Yvette Tampa, FL

Deepest prayers from my family to yours. I’ve read with interest the descriptions of Emily’s wonderful character over the last week. It is so very saddening to hear of the loss of someone so beautiful to so senseless of an act. Thank you to the parents and the rest of the family for your example of courage and faith to us all. There are many praying for you – may GOD’s comfort completely encompass you. “We know that Jesus died and rose again, therefore during times of loss we grieve but not as those who have no hope”. In Christ, Glenn Buckmaster
I don't know you, but unfortunately I know the depths of the grief that is swallowing your entire family. My heart and my prayers are with each of you, please always believe that you are never ever alone, on this earth or above it.
Juanita, this is Maggie from the String Quartet. I only met you and Emily once at our first rehearsal, only a week before she was taken. She was a wonderful girl! My heart goes out to you and your family! I want to express my heartfelt condolances. My thoughts are with you, and my family, and our congregation are praying for you.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Emily. The world is indeed a terrible place where people would hurt an innocent human being like that. I pray that this monster turns himself in and doesnt hurt anyone else. God bless
Though I never knew Emily, as a mother of two girls, I can only imagine your pain. Feel comforted in knowing that your little girl is an angel and is now in the hands of God. Perhaps some day she will be known as an angel of justice. May the family find strength to reach out and make a difference in the future of our justice system. Change clearly needs to take place. It is my hope that perhaps something will be done about the justice system, as it clearly was not working on this occasion. God Bless Emily.
I would like to say as a mother of a 14 year daughter my heart aches for you. We try so hard to keep our children safe, this has definitly hit home for us. I pray this person will be found and justice will be done. God bless your family.
Words cannot describe the sadness we feel over your loss. We pray that the Lord will fill the emptiness in your heart as you mourn for your precious daughter. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Rod and Christine Graham (Dylan's parents), Langley BC
My prayers and deep sadness go to you as you go through these dark days... I too have a child that went to Heaven.... I know we will be with them again... and God will keep watch until then..
My prayers are with the family.
As parents my wife and I cannot imagine your pain,as parents,these children are all our children and we share in your grief. There is no explanation for crimes like this, they are unfathomable to normal people. My you find your strength in God and your friends and family in the days ahead. Jack and Brenda Steenson Red Deer
Oh you sweet little irreplaceable baby, I am so sorry for what some monster did to you. All of us who are left behind will never be able to reach a place of understanding or absolution. You are one of our Edson children in our Lord's care now. We are sooo sorry it had to be this way, we would have much preferred that you meet Jesus as a grandmother, safe and warm in her bed and ready instead of being stolen from us way too soon. Our prayers are now with your family and ourselves, we are a little bit more lost today without you, but we do know where you are and no one can hurt you ever again. Look in on us every now and then angel. Kenny Littlechild, Edson, Alberta.
I met Emily not too lang ago. Although we didn't know each other very long, we got to know each other fast. She was the most kind, generous and posative person I ever met, a shining angel. She lives on with the Father and I look forward to our next meeting.
God Bless your family Emily! You are already blessed. The Balogun, Olunloyo and Taiwos
Horrible! We saw this on the news in Toronto. Who's killing our kids?? From our family to yours. The Olunloyo, Taiwo and Baloguns
There are no words to be said to comfort you during this terrible loss. I am so very sorry to have heard about Emily. I pray that peace, strength and love is willed your way through this difficult time. I also pray for justice!
Words seem so empty at a time like this but what will bring peace and strength is the prayers of saints. I would like to send my sincerest condolences to the Stauffer family and want you to know you are being upheld nation wide with these prayers. May God be your fullness and Comforter, each one of you. Emily is with her Lord and Best Friend and your God is faithful.
I think the world is mourning with Emily's family, when one so young is taken so tragically, and needlessly. As a mother of 2 teens, our prayers are with you at this time. May the individual be caught quickly and dealt with accordingly. This maybe my 2nd entry, but my heart aches for Emily's family. God be with you.
I do not know Emily or her family, but having 2 teens, I could not imagine the pain, my sincerest condolences to Emily's family, and hope they catch the person responsible. Our prayers are with you.
My tears and thoughts go out the Stauffer's. I am a Fellowship Pastor in BC. I know Emily's Grand Father and am shocked by this horrible tragedy. I pray comfort and peace on the Stauffer and Hern families during this time. I pray for her Father, Pastor Terry, that he may have the wisdom and courage to communicate the love of Christ even in such a time. And by God's grace may this man be found and held accountable for this atrocity.
I didn't know Emily or her family but my heart goes out to them. I have a daughter and every day I live in fear of her being out there in this world . There are so many good hearts out there but a few like her murderer who have no regard for human life.R.I P. dear child.
How awful that someone would stalk a young girl and murder in the day time. My prayers go to her family.
