I met Emma through my workplace. She very quickly became a friend and not just a patient. Her visits and chats in my office were a quiet joy in my day. She was a classy and thoughtful lady and it was a privilege to know her. I will truly miss her and I send deep sympathies and thoughts to Dennis and to Emma’s entire family.
