What happened to Joe Walsh's daughter?
 

So I was reading Stevie's Timespace notes on HAEWAFY, and I'm sure you all know she refers to Joe Walsh's daughter that he "lost".

I'm assuming this means she died, especially because of the memorial drinking fountain. But I can't find any information on it.

Maybe I'm being a terrible person, but I'm curious.

Thanks for any info.

She was killed by a drunk driver on her way to school I believe.

i think i remember that his daughter was named emma & she was 3 & killed by a drunk driver on the way to nursery school~

Brutal.

I thought I read that her name was Lucy, but knowing as much as I do about Joe Walsh, it could be a different daughter.

i was taking emma from what i think might have been "storytellers" when stevie said what is "HAEWAFY" was about~

I'm not sure if he has other children, but the daughter that was killed in the accident was named Emma Kristen. He wrote a song for her that appears on the 'So What' album...

Joe Walsh - Song For Emma

There's a feeling I get when I look to the sky
As if someone is watching,
Someone hears every word.

We are filled with regrets, it was such a short time,
But we told Him we loved you, hoping somehow He heard.
We hoped He heard...

You were with us for a while and He took you,
And He made your mama cry.
I can see it in her eyes, there's a question as to why.

And after all this time still I find that I'm without an answer.
Good bye, bye love.

Here are some pictures that I took of the fountain in CO a few years ago.
