Jennifer Padilla wrote a sympathy message

“Emily has been a part of our lives for almost 2 years, and she was so much more than support —she was a steady, compassionate presence for my daughter and our entire family. Kind, thoughtful, and unwavering, she never made us feel like a burden, even in our most difficult moments. She often talked about how important her family was and how much she loved them, and our hearts are with them during this time. She will be missed by so many people, but she will be remembered forever.”
