It is with unimaginable sorrow that we share the tragic and heartbreaking news of the passing of Emily Walleman and her unborn baby on [june 29 ], following an unexpected and severe medical crisis at home. Emily was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished daughter, a trusted friend, and a light in the lives of all who knew her. Her passing leaves an aching void that words can scarcely begin to fill.
Emily’s sudden departure has shattered the hearts of many, but none more than her husband Mike and their precious daughter Vienna. What was meant to be a season of joyful anticipation has now become one of profound grief and pain. In a moment, their world was changed forever.
Emily was a woman of warmth and kindness, with a gentle spirit and a radiant heart. She brought joy into every room she entered, and her love for her family was as deep as it was constant. Her smile, laughter, and unwavering love for Mike and Vienna were the heartbeat of their home. The dreams she held for her growing family now remain as treasured memories and poignant reminders of what was lost too soon.
As they begin the difficult journey of healing, Mike and Vienna will face not only emotional anguish but also the sudden and unexpected financial burdens that come with such an unthinkable tragedy. In light of this, we have created this space to reach out on their behalf — to ask for the support of friends, extended family, neighbors, and the broader community.
Your donations will help ease the financial strain related to funeral expenses, medical costs, and the day-to-day needs that don’t pause in the face of grief. Most importantly, your support will show Mike and Vienna that they are not alone — that even in the darkest moments, they are surrounded by compassion, love, and solidarity.
We ask that you please keep Mike and Vienna in your hearts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. The road before them will not be easy, but with the care of a community that rallies behind them, we believe healing will slowly find its way.
More updates will be shared here as they become available. In the meantime, please hold space for this family. Share this message. Offer what you can. And remember Emily — for the love she gave, the life she lived, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind in Vienna and in the hearts of all who loved her.
“Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day — unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and forever dear.”
