“So sad to hear this. Emma was indeed a special person, always with a smile on her face and a hug for you. Rest in peace Emma, together again with your lovely Mammy and Daddy,” said Julie.
“I can’t believe am writing this, I grew up with Emma when we were kids, I lived a few doors away from her. She was such a beautiful person and that smile would have brightened up anyone’s day. R.I.P Emma. Heaven has gained another angel too early,” said Hannah.
