Emily Paige Telford, age 3, everybody's sweetheart, who was loved by everyone she touched, returned to her Heavenly Father on May 7, 1992. Her death was the result of a drowning accident.

Creative and bright, charming, beautiful eyes, she loved to sing and dance, the color pink and spending time with her mother. Her mother was her best friend and she loved going shopping with her. She played on her scooter daily and was clerly her mother's pride and joy.Her brothers, Russell, Ben and Danny were instrumental in assisting their sister during the accident, so she was able to be with us for a short period of time.

Surviving are her mother, Shannon H., Murray; her father and stepmother, S. Jay and Kimberly B. Telford, Ogden; three brothers, Stuart Russell Telford, Benjamin Jay Telford and Daniel Ames Telford, all of Murray. Also surviving are her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Darrel A. Hoopes, Cottonwood, Arizona; Mr.and Mrs. George R. Telford, Alpine, Wyoming; her great-grandmothers Winifred Thomas, Ogden; Elda Grace Ames, Kearsn; several aunts, uncles, relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by a grandmother, Barbara Ames Hoopes; her uncle, Kory James Hoopes; and her cousin, Samuel Hoopes.

The family would like to express their appreciation to all the neighbors, friends, emergency and hospital personnel who made our baby's last hours with her famil possible.
