Emily and I spent many a weekend traveling to Crookston while she lived in Pinewood for Ministry classes at Mt. St. Benedict. Once while we were into a heavy discussion about our homework, we went in the ditch (It WAS very icy!!) and she just kept driving and we drove right back out! I think we both turned to the back seat at the same time and said "Thank You God" since we both felt he was riding with us that day! What a hoot she was! She will be missed.
