Emma had a passion for many things: classical music, playing the piano and violin, reading, period dramas, history, grammar, nature (especially trees and viny things), and spending quality time with all her family members. Her greatest passion was her love for Jesus Christ and letting her life bring honor to Him.
Emma passed away July 15th, 2025, after a sudden and unexpected illness.
