Who Was Emily Colleen Buddin?

Emily was born on October 31, 2014, in Canton, Georgia. Emily attended Tolbert Elementary School in Resaca, Georgia, and would have been in fourth grade at the start of the current school year. Her heart is pure gold, with a passion for Jesus, her family, her friends, and all animals, particularly horses.

She was courageous, independent, sensitive, sympathetic, strong-willed, headstrong, and stunningly gorgeous in every aspect. Her energy could illuminate even the darkest room. Emily introduced others to Jesus through the Good News Club at school. She inspired her entire town by striving to be the best barrel racer she could be. Her siblings are her universe, and she raised them with the best intentions regardless of their age. She was larger than life, with a lovely voice and an irresistible, soul-lifting laugh. The loss of such a bright light has grieved many people.
