Its hard to believe that so much time has passed since we lost you. There is not a day that goes by that you do not cross my mind like a breath of wind. I miss your beautiful smile and your kind spirit that was an example for all of us to live by. Souls like yours are very rare.... but you are still with us, in our thoughts, memories and the huge amount of love you left behind.

Emma will be immensely missed... her radiant smile and welcoming disposition (and those lips with sexy hot pink hue and long beautiful blonde hair)!

My heartfelt condolences to her family and children in their time of extreme pain and loss...

My dearest angel Emma...when I first met you I could not believe that God graced me with such a beautiful soul as a friend. Your beauty was not only on the outside but radiated from the inside as well. You had the incredible gift of making anyone who knew you feel as though they were the most special person in the world. You paid it forward everyday of your life. We had some wonderful times with the kids as they were growing up...we went through some troubling times too....but you were always a pillar of strength,.always thinking of others before yourself. Even years ago when you were in the hospital I remember you opening your eyes in the ICU and the first words you said to me were..."are you ok??" Yes, an angel was lent to us from heaven. Your children were everything to you and you taught me so many things about being a good mother. The things I will miss about you...oh.. the list could go on and on.....your smile, your great hugs, the way a room would light up when you walked in. Your unconditional ability to care. Love without judging or expectations. Just pure true love. Love that could only come from being one of Gods angels.. Emma, I truly believe you were sent here to teach us all how to be better people, and how to love with that beautiful pure love that you showed to everyone.. You will always live in the hearts of everyone who's lives you touched. We love you...Valerie & Steve Anderson

Emma was a beautiful person inside and out. She always had a smile and brought cheer to others. She was always there to listen and help you through difficult times. She loves her children deeply...she loved listening to me tell stories about my little girls b/c she could reminisce about when her kids were little. Her children were everything to her and she was so proud of them. She will be missed greatly....Love you Emma, RIP and I will see you again one day!

I have had the true pleasure of calling Emma my friend since 1990. I am so very sad I will never again see her beautiful sweet smile. Emma was an excellent nurse and a extremely caring person. Emma choose to see the best in others. What a very bright light Emma has been to me and so many people.
To her children, your mother wanted and loved you so very much. I am so very sorry for your loss. Keeping you in my prayers, Most sincerely, Joanna S.

I'm deeply sadden of the passing of such an amazing woman. Emma hired me in 2000 at TGH. We use to get our nails done and when Sophie was younger we went to Build a Bear at the mall and she put a message inside, I still have that bear.I brought Emma orchids from time to time when I grew them. We hadn't been around much lately,but we spoke once in awhile. My prayers are with all of her family and those friends who were blessed enough to have her in their lives. I know that I was blessed and I will remember her for the woman she is and always be.

Emma was my friend. Sounds simple but it was a gift. The first time I met Emma at work she introduced herself with a smile and a hug. As a new employee at a new job it doesn't get better than that. If Emma ever had a bad day, she didn't show it. Emma had a happy heart and shared it will everyone. We spent a lot of time taking about our kids. She adored her children and was so proud of them. The world is a sadder place without Emma in it. My deepest sympathy to Emma's children, family and friends.

March 14, 2014

Emma was an amazing person with a beautiful soul. She will be deeply missed by her TGH family. She loved her children so much , was proud of who they are and their accomplishments. she was a dedicated nurse and employee - so many are saddened by this loss. My deepest condolences .....
