Emma will be

kept alive in my

memories with a

song...

She was sitting opposite me when I took a call from Jolene from

the Council who wished to speak to Emma.

Whilst I had the lady on the phone (on hold as I was putting

the call through) I burst into song “ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,

Jolene” by Dolly Parton.

Emma laughed her head off at this and often told me when she

heard the song she would chuckle and think back to that time.

Now whenever I hear this song I will always think of her.

“Words can’t take away your tears,

Hugs won’t ease your pain, But hold on to your

memories, forever they’ll remain”

I have had the privilege of working with Emma for the

last 18 years. The sad news of her passing has left her

work family devastated. I am privileged that I am able

to call Emma my friend. Over the years we have

supported each other during bad times and laughed

during good times. Memories that will stay with me

forever. God Bless my darling friend.
