  18. Emma, you were always a caring, giving, kind, loving and a beautiful person. You were always there for anyone whether it be as ear for people, support and help or for a coffee and chat.
    Most of all you and Leigh built an amazing family, your most treasured and greatest accomplishment.
    It’s hard to believe that today I have to say good bye to my sister in law.
    I wanted to see all your dreams and plans you and Leigh had come true.
    I am going and do miss our conversations but I hold dearly the conversation we had 5 days prior to your passing and your words “ I just really needed to hear your voice and to see that your doing ok “.
    I promise you that I am going to be ok and I’ll do my best. I’ll miss you my sister in law.
    Beautiful lady.. please watch over your amazing children and Leigh.
    Rest easy and peacefully🥰🥰🥰🥰

  28. Dearest Emma,
    I remember meeting tou for the first time and us getting along instantly. Theres a heap of memories i could share but instead im going to say i will remember our heart to heart chats, the smiles and the laughs. You always had a big heart and you would move heaven and earth for your kids, family and friends if needed. I havent seen you in awhile but every time i did see you, you would always chat to me like old times.

  43. Emma 😢😢😢,

    My 40 yr old friend, kindergarten, primary school, high school to I was expelled & I think you finished up not long after. Yes we lost contact after this for many years but thankfully Facebook & my career as a nurse meant we reconnected as I had the honour of occasionally seeing your beloved Dad John as a patient where we would always have a laugh chatting about our close friendship. Never ever did I have a reason to say a bad word about you nor did I hear you about me. One of our FB messages I cherished
    Emma – Lol your an angel in disguise mate the job you do
    Me – Not sure about that 😂
    Emma – You are
    Me – I’m still making up for being a shit in school 😂😂😂😂
    Emma – So am i

    You always respected me for stopping the slide to wasting my life & I always respected you for doing the same & of course the immense love you had for your parents, brothers & children.

    I hope mate that in your next life, your able to achieve your dream of being a nurse as people like you with such a big heart make amazing nurses.
    I will always remember you with a smile and promise I will be always there for Sarah and your beautiful mum if they ever need me.

    🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  45. I will never forget the moment I found out we were connected via family that day, I will never forget seeing you, hugging you, telling me you’re proud of me and for just being you! Your wings were ready but our hearts were not and I’m still waiting for that message from you telling me “hey I’m doing good”, my thoughts are with Sarah, Jacy, Jacob and Dylan. I will miss you em, reunited with your beautiful dad. 💜💜💜

  46. To the most beautiful woman to of walked this earth, my mum!
    Mum you helped so many people, without question. You helped strangers. You were always there for your good friends and I can’t say that I’ve ever called you and you haven’t been at my house in legitimately 3 minutes. I’m going to miss you forever my angel now we lay you down to rest, we do not say our final goodbyes but we say SEE YOU SOON. You were the coolest mum in a weird way though, now that I think about haha. The way you used to act “different” *rolls eyes* when you’d drop me off at HIGH SCHOOL AHAHHA. I’m going to miss everything about you mama bear, but mostly.. I’ll miss your kisses on my forehead when I was sick Mum, it was your touch that made me better or the way you cared maybe. Possibly like no one else ever will!
    I’ll miss the way you used to play with my hair when I slept in your room as a kid while we are bulk lollies and watched the wizard of oz or Charlie and the Chocolate factory (original) over and blooming over.
    What hurts More than everything ^
    Mentioned above is, when I accept the fact your actually never coming home is when I have no idea how the hell the younger siblings and i will ever cope without our rock solid, loyal and fierce ma.
    I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU, and MY RESPECT FOR YOU MUM, only got more profound as you kicked every goals’ ass that thought it’d take you down. (Not you ma.) 3 Of your grand babies;
    William, Wesley (nanny) & your “archieswarcheniger” LOVE & miss you so much. Please keep an eye on us all mummy. I know you will. I love you stars and moon much.
    We will never ever truly be apart, promise!
    We all love you Mum. Love for ever, your first born lol.
    Rest in paradise darling love Sarah x

    Sarah July 22 2021
