Emily Madison Barnard, age 3, of Mooresburg, passed away, Monday, July 25, 2011 at Johnson City Medical Center.
Emily was loved by everyone who knew her.

Courthouse sources said Amber Beth Gibson sat in her jail cell cheerfully playing cards as Hawkins County Sheriff Ronnie Lawson told the world Gibson has been charged in the beating death of 3-year-old Emily Madison Barnard.
When Emilys father, Eric Barnard, received the news shortly after a Tuesday press conference he began to cry, according to his attorney, Mark Stapleton.
-------------------
It stated that Emily died of multiple blunt force trauma to the head.
-----------------------
Prior to the gag order being signed, however, Lawson described Emilys death as one of the most heinous events he has witnessed in his 30-plus-year law enforcement career.
Emily suffered bruises all over her body including massive head injuries.
This child suffered, Lawson told the Times-News in July.
Gibsons bond has been increased from $250,000 for the robbery charge to $500,000, and she is scheduled for arraignment on the murder and child abuse charges in Hawkins County Criminal Court on Feb. 3.
-------------------------
Any fond feelings Eric Barnard had for Amber Gibson disappeared when she called him July 23 to say Emily had been injured, Stapleton said.
I think his emotions turned at that moment and continue to get further away from Amber, Stapleton said.
I think hes glad that the sheriffs department has her instead of him.
Ill say it that way. Hes very angry.

She should be glad she's in custody instead of available to the family as well...
