Mary Emma was a ray of sunshine and laughter and love. I often describe friends as 'who you want in your foxhole with you because you know they will be there and don't have to check to see if they are there'. She was one I wanted in my foxhole. Her smile and laugh and love continues to live in all my family and I am eternally grateful for having known and loved her.
