Emily Grace Navarra was one heck of a diva, or as Em would say, a "diba!" She loved pink, loved to be fashionable, and loved anything girly! This princess' personality really shined through in everything she did.

At the age of two, Emily was diagnosed with a brain cancer called Medulloblastoma, after having face paralysis and what doctors thought was Bells Palsy.
After enduring 10 months of chemotherapy and six weeks of radiation, Emily was in remission for 18 months.
Unfortunately, Emily relapsed in August, 2018. She then received an additional six months of chemotherapy, and twelve weeks of radiation. Sadly, her last round of chemotherapy did not work, and Emily passed away April 15,2020 surrounded by her family.

Through Emily's loss, her mom, Christy, has become a very close friend of Sami's, and a friend who continues to change Sami's life.
Emily is often referred to as Sami's "adopted" angel sister, and through everything Sami does, Emily will NEVER be forgotten.

Rest in paradise, sweet Emily!
