I'm not sure if any of you knew, I certainly didn't and its knocked me for 6. I cant see another post on here but I've seen a few forumites post on her FB page Emmy was such a regular on here in the old days, and will be sorely missed. This taken from her FB page from Michael Gregory Firstly, I'm sorry if this post knocks you a bit but many of you'll be aware that Emma passed away on the 30th Dec 2022, some of you may not know she did.
