Today we talk with Shelley Komoszewski, a dear friend of Erin's, about her 17-year-old daughter, Emily. On December 2, 2021 Emily passed away after experiencing a heart arrhythmia just a few short days before. Shelley shares as only a mother can about Emily and her testimony of loving Jesus, loving people, and living in a way that pointed others to Him. Shelley's steadfast faith and honesty in the midst of great suffering and grieving is nothing short of inspiring. This episode shows that tears and great joy can exist together.
