We Remember
SURINE, Emma Victoria
February 2, 2015 — December 25, 2015
Passed away on Friday, December 25, 2015 at the age of 10 months and 23 days. She is survived by her parents Dan and Melissa; twin sister Addison Lorainne; paternal grandfather Kevin Surine; paternal grandmother Cheryl Black; maternal grandparents Allan and Brenda Romanowski; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends.
Emma was born on Monday, February 2, 2015, at 6 pm. She couldn’t have been more perfect: lots of dark brown hair and chubby cheeks. She was a gentle and calm baby, only fussing when things really weren’t right. At 3.5 months of age, Emma was diagnosed with a terminal muscular condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 1. Her life expectancy was 1-2 years at best. Her parents made the most of her short life by creating many meaningful memories and giving her the best life possible. She will be forever missed.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 2, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home Family Centre, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

Condolences

What I can picture in my mind are “those eyes”. Those eyes full of life and sparkle and intelligence. Those eyes that changed from skeptical to happiness as Emma got to know me.
I was humbled to watch Melissa and Dan live the words “love like there is no tomorrow”

I don’t know you. But I just felt so strongly to write this. We lost our baby granddaughter at one day. She lived long enough to forever be imprinted in our hearts. I am just so sad for the loss you are feeling. I have twin daughters . I don’t know what to say to you but she will forever be in your hearts and her twin’s heart too.
There’s anew star in the heavens and she’ll be twinkling for you….

Kevin Sheila and Dan,Melissa my heart goes out to you all. All my thoughts and prayers.
Melissa and Dan, so sorry for your loss of Emma. Sending prayers and strength!
I feel compelled to write to you and offer my support from my family to you. We lost an 11 day old baby 6 years ago – my granddaughter – so we can somewhat feel your pain. We knew several months before she was born that we would not be keeping her so, as with you, it was a long road of pain. Ally Grace is always with us – we think of her every day, and your beautiful Emma Victoria will always be with you. Please know that we are praying for you and my tears are falling as I write this. Peace and strength to you as you begin this most difficult journey. Bobbie.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very awful time. May your sweet Emma rest in God’s arms for eternity.
Dan and Melissa please know that we are thinking of you during this time of sorrow, and always. Our love to you.
Dear Dan, Melissa and Addison,
I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling at this time. We all see the amazing love you have for your girls and the great strength it takes to go through this journey. I wish you continued strength through this very difficult time. We are all thinking of you.
Love, Megan
Dan, Melissa and Addison – we are sorry we were unable to join you for your ceremony to say goodbye to our sweet little cousin Emma. We have loved all the photos and videos proud grandma Cheryl has shared with us. We think of you every day and are keeping you all close in our hearts. Sending our love to you all.
