Such sad news, for anyone who contributed to the charity event we held last year I am saddened that she finally lost her battle. This amazing lady turned her own illness into a charity to help others, and her and her family’s aim is to keep it going.
It is with great sadness to inform you all that Emma passed away at home yesterday surrounded by her family. She didn’t go lightly and battled until the very end, she was not going to let cancer define her.
Thank you to all the family and friends who have constantly reached out to us and given their support. Although Emma didn’t get around to reading all the messages she knew how much she was loved.
I would like to take the time to thank the Alan Hudson centre who have closely supported not only Emma but all of us over the last 18 months. I don’t know what we would have done without their support, not to mention the Hospice at home carers and District nurses who also closely supported us these last few weeks. They worked tirelessly to make sure Emma was as comfortable as she could be.
Although Emma is no longer with us, I know she is deep within our hearts. May her legacy live on through all of us and Edith’s Purse. ❤️
