Memories of Emily -- the child, the sister, the friend

Emily Picco, a 1999 graduate of El Dorado High School, passed away suddenly on April 15, 2002 from a stroke.  She was one semester short of graduating from California State University, Chico with a degree in Media Arts.  In Emily's memory, her family has established a $1000 award intended for a high school senior continuing their education at a two or four-year university in pursuit of a career in the field of Media Arts.

In death, the spirit leaves the body. If this can give life to others....

In addition to living on in the spirit and in the memories of those who knew her, Emily lives on by the donation of her organs -- the ultimate gift of one person to another.  Through organ donation, Emily was immediately able to save the lives of seven people and over time, her legacy will benefit many others.
