  8. Emma sadly we say goodbye way too soon. You will never be forgotten. Such an unique character with your love of music and arts. I will always remember the fun and beautiful times of singing, dancing and laughing whilst living together in the city. May you rest but always dance trough sunflower fields. I will always remember you when I see these blooms. You always seemed to float into the room bringing a bunch them and brightness when you entered our city home . Rest in Peace.

  10. We first met you in Belfast 1980 Emma and we have never forgotten that little toddler with the little smiley face so cute and full of mischief. Time went by, we lived so far apart that we never met again until 2016. You had by then grown into a beautiful, intelligent and fun loving person, but you still had that cheeky wee grin, Hugh and I were completely smitten with you and your two gorgeous boys. We feel so lucky to have got to know you Emma and will never forget the precious time spent with you, reading your wonderful emails, your courage and resilience made us proud to be your Aunt and Uncle. We will both cherish our memories of you for always and forever..

  17. Em, I simply can’t put into words, how big a loss I am feeling with you gone… we had so many plans, so much to look forward to, but mostly we made so many awesome memories. I’ll miss dancing with you, laughing with you (or you at me), beers on the beach (sshhhhh), our kids getting along so well, we could just hang out undisturbed, backyard movies, you making me put lipstick even though I’m not a big fan of make-up (ok, I may not miss that so much, but on the odd occasion I do my make up, you shall be on my mind!),.. champagne… lots of champagne… it wouldn’t matter how long we knew each other, it would never be long enough… you always made sure everyone had a great time, especially me in the passed couple of years, to always see the good in the bad, I can’t ever thank you enough for you… I love you endlessly, P xx

  18. Emma,
    Thank you for your friendship & for welcoming our family into your life. The memories we made are a gift that time will never diminish. There is a crack in our coffee table from that one time you danced on it. It is now a hallowed spot that will forever remind us of your joyful spirit, beautiful smile & infectious passion for music.
    We are sending all our love to your family & friends. Please know that you will be foremost in our minds not only tomorrow… but onwards & forever.
    Jeff, Megan & Family

  29. Sweetheart, words escape me right now as it still doesn’t seem real that you have left us. You were the most charismatic, hilarious fun loving gal I had the absolute pleasure of meeting. I am so grateful for all those times that we caught up back in Melbs, trips to Bali and when you came up to surprise the crap out of me.
    Thank you for being you, you will be sorely missed so today as a tribute to you I will be donning bright red lipstick and a glass of bubbly when I finish work.
    Rest in peace sweetheart and may you fly high with the angels…much love xx

  35. Emma joined Australian Paper and I had the pleasure of working with her in the Human Resources Team.
    During her time, she was recognized for her positive can do attitude, passion for developing others and thirst for learning.
    Emma was also more than an employee. She quickly became a friend to me and many others at Australian Paper. She will be missed by her work colleagues, friends and family.
    We wish to take this opportunity to extend to Emma’s family all our sympathy and support during this difficult time.

  41. Rosland, I do not know how to begin or what to say to you, that could possibly help your grief in any way. What a cruel world. I am so so sorry that you have to go through all of this. Now you have a responsibility to help the two boys to grow up, to know what a wonderful Mum they had, they will give you inspiration to carry you through. Please accept my sincere heartfelt sympathy, to you & the other girls.
