If you knew Emma, she's the most kind, big-hearted girl, the girl's dad Geoff Mertens, of Wisconsin, told Good Morning America. To see so many people take a few minutes out of their day to put a smile on her face is overwhelming.
Emma was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor called DIPG on Jan. 23. She is now undergoing radiation at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.
