Extremely sad news for local WMBD News anchor, Mark Welp. His beautiful daughter, Emma has passed away after a very brief time in hospice. Hoping the Welp family finds some comfort from the outpouring of support given by those who have followed Emma's journey. https://www.facebook.com/EmbracingEmmaWelp/

So sad. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

VERY SAD

I had seen a Facebook post from Mark on Saturday about bringing her home instead of further treatment. I had not heard about her passing. It's a very sad situation losing a child at a young age, but now she is in the comfort of heaven, as an angel and no pain.
