The Passing of Emily McLean

MISC_Emily McLeanFrom The Story Collective Facebook page:

The Story Collective mourns the loss of one of our own. Emily McLean, our beloved Outreach & Education Director and founding member, entered heaven on Saturday after a valiant battle with brain cancer.

Emily’s story was one of love, beauty, and grace. She made a tremendous impact on everyone around her, and will be sorely missed.

To know Emily is to love Emily. Em, we adore you, we miss you, and we will do all that we can to honor your memory every day. Thank you for being a part of our story.
