The short life of Emilie Parker

Emilie Parker, 6, was the blonde-haired and blue-eyed oldest sister of three girls.

Emilie was described by her father, Robbie Saturday afternoon to CNN as "always smiling."

Hours after the Parker family learned of the loss of their daughter Emilie, a fund was set up by two close family friends in her memory.

Parker was among the 20 students killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday.

The Emilie Parker Fund was set up to help parents Robbie and Alissa with their immediate needs due to the loss of their beautiful girl,the page says. The page was created by Brad Schultz and Alan Prothero. The two say they have been close friends to the pair for 15 years.

They did not immediately return a message seeking comment Saturday.

Reports indicate that Emilie and her family were originally from Ogden, Utah. Her father works as a physician¹s assistant, according to a profile on Facebook. A newspaper in Utah interviewed Robbie Parker¹s father, Randy, before he traveled to Newtown, and explained that the family moved here earlier this year for Robbie's work.

"She was very loving," Randy Parker told KSL TV of his granddaughter.

"She just loved taking care of people. If she saw people with their feelings hurt, it was, 'What can I do to help?' She was that kind of child." THE DAD'S COMMENT:  

"My daugher Emilie would be one of the first ones to be standing up and giving her love and support to all of those victims, because that is the type of person she is," he said.

She was "an exceptional artist and she always carried around her markers and pencils so she never missed an opportunity to draw a picture or make a card for someone."

He recounted how his daughter slipped one of her cards in the casket at the funeral of her grandfather, who died in October in an accident.

She was the oldest of three girls, and helped one sister learn to read and helped the youngest to do crafts. "She was their best friend," he said.

Emilie's "laughter was infectious," he said. "This world is a better place because she has been in it." 
 Emilie, your life was cut so short...But surely we will meet again.

R.I.P dearest one!
