| 摘要： | Maritime Partners held a christening ceremony February 3 for the seventh of nine boats the company is building at In-tracoastal Iron Works in Bourg, La. The company named the boat the mv. Emily Webber in honor of the late Emily Michelle Webber, the lifelong friend of Sally Dane Sperry, wife of Maritime Partners' co-founder and president Austin Sperry. Webber died, unexpectedly, March 4, 2021, at the age of 41. Sperry met Emily during their junior year of high school. Almost instantly, the two were fast friends, with each soon becoming an honorary member of the other's family. "I have sisters by birth, but she was my sister by choice," Sperry said. "It just happened. I don't know how to describe it." Emily was the oldest of four siblings with a working mother in a single-parent home. In high school, she played a big role in bringing her younger siblings home from school, getting them started with homework and preparing the evening meal. Sperry jumped right into the mix as a fellow family member. "I took on the honorary big sister role, when she would cheer and play soccer and softball," Sperry said. "When she would be at practice, a lot of times I would go help with her siblings. Then, she would come home and we would hang out and kind of be the parents until her mom got home." |
