2. Dear Friend and Loving Sister
Emily lived a life full of joy and happiness. With her sophistication
and poise she did and always will set an example of a perfect role
model to her Phi Sigma Sigma sisters. She became an initiated
member of Phi Sigma Sigma her sophomore year of college at
Loyola University Chicago. Soon after, she ran for a position and
became our fundraising chair. Although our time with Emily was
cut short she left a lasting impact on our whole chapter.On
December 19th, 2011 when Emily unexpectedly passed away from
a stroke, everything stopped. We not only lost our great friend but
a sister very dear to our hearts.
Annual Stroke Awareness Event
Since Emily's passing Phi Sigma Sigma has started an annual
philanthropy event in her memory.The annual stroke event
consists of a fundraiser followed by a symbolic balloon release.
This year we will be joining with Sigma Chi, Nursing Council and
Student Council to put on this event. We hope to keep Emily's
spirit alive and raise stroke awareness among students on Loyola's
campus. Not a day goes by where we do not miss Emily, but we all
know she is always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.
