NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Dozens gathered at Centennial Park Sunday to remember Emily Bradley, a Nashville events promoter, eclectic spirit, and loyal daughter.

The celebration of life comes months after the 44-year-old's body was found in Whites Creek in March.

Police say it was a homicide, although they're still investigating the case and who is at fault.

While they fight for answers in her case, close friends and family wanted to remember her in the best way they knew how: with a dance, music, and friend-filled celebration.

"Well she as brilliant. In different ways, brilliant," said her father Nick Bradley. "We were best friends. I guess I miss everything."

If you know anything about Emily or her case, her loved ones are asking you to call police.

"Justice," said her father. "We seek justice."

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
