Emma - You never saw a little girl so brave. She was confident, fearless, and courageous, willing to
try anything. Such a loving, well mannered and sweet child. A princess, who was generous with her
hugs and kisses. She was all girl...

Emma Lynn Coble, age 4 of Ladera Ranch, CA, passed away on Friday, May 4, 2007 along with her 2
siblings, Kyle and Katie in a tragic auto crash on the I-5 in Mission Viejo, when a Big-rig ran into
the back of their minivan. She is survived by her loving parents, Chris and Lori Coble.

Two-year-old Katie and 5-year-old Kyle were rushed to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo. Katie went
to heaven just before 2 p.m. Four-year-old Emma joined her sister just minutes later at Saddleback
Memorial Hospital in Laguna Hills, California. At Mission, Kyle was rushed into surgery. Doctors did
everything they could. Kyle joined his sisters at 8:52 p.m. while being held in his mother's arms.
Heaven has 3 beautiful angels.

The children's Mother Lori Coble was in the driver's seat, and their Grandmother Cynthia Maestri was
in the front passenger seat, both were taken to Western Medical Center, but later transferred that
day to Mission Hospital once their conditions were upgraded to fair/stable. They were released the
following week.

Kyle Coble was a happy kid just coming into his own. His little sisters, Emma and Katie, were
darlings of the neighborhood, whether riding around together in their wagon or selling lemonade.

These children were everything to their parents, Chris and Lori Coble, who kept a family website
chronicling the adventures of their "crazy monkeys" including their soccer games, birthday parties,
Christmas mornings and trips to Sea World.

"I'm a stay-at-home mom and I love it," Lori Coble wrote on her personal MySpace page, where she
described herself as a "proud parent."

At the memorial, Chris had this to say about Emma:

"Emma Lynn, she was a kind, sweet, loving girl. She would sit on my lap and we would do whatever,
watch TV, read a book. She would curl up on me ever since she was a little girl. Emma, I've never
seen a little girl so brave. She'd be up for anything. When none of the other kids would sit by the
crashing waves on the beach, she would sit by my side, even though it was loud and scary. She was so
brave. And the thing that touches me the most and one of the things I'm going to really miss her
saying, is that Emma always told me that she was going to marry her Dad. I'm going to miss her
saying that."

Chris also said:

"I want to read a short thing in which someone sent us in one of the cards. It says,

'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath
away.'

...and we really felt touched by that, because these are the kids that take our breath away. We are
going to miss them forever."

Also at the memorial, the Rev. Robert Coble, the children's grandfather said:

"I heard someone say 'when we lose an adult, we lose the past. When we lose a child, we lose the
future.' May 4 will always be remembered as the day of tragedy. In the blink of an eye, we lost
three souls."

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place

The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end

Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me

So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby

4 all my loved ones

You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.XXXXX
