Dear Gavino, dear entire family. I´d kindly like to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. This must be a very difficult time for your family and it is as well for many UNV colleagues. I´ve only worked with Emily for approximately 6 months in Bonn. However, Emily´s good soul left a remarkable impression on everyone she met. I´m still shocked about the very sad news and I wish your family lots of love, strength and support to get through this time together. Emily will always remain in our hearts and I´m more than happy that I had the chance to meet her and I´ll not forget her. Best regards, Johanna
