Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez

West Point, 2005

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Yolanda Ramirez-Raphael on February 25, 2007:

Emily,
I'm finally back here in Fayetteville. All I can think of every day is that this was the last place I got to see you before you left. I go into my dining room of my house and I look at the clock on the wall, and I think sometimes if I were just to turn it back, I could bring you back to that spot, here in my home. I feel like its just a matter of time before I see you again. (Although, if that is the case, I'm not so sure I stand a chance of going where you are sometimes =). You know that's just my self-depreciating humor.)

Ahh, I can only think of how you would tease me for being such a wet-eyed softie.

You will be forever young, forever strong, and forever my hero.

Not a day goes by I don?t think of you and miss you with all my heart.

Your "overly sentimental" roommate,
Yolanda
