Really saddened to hear about Emma.

Hey Ross, I dropped you a mail at your rossgoodman.com address but not sure if you got it as my outbound mail has been playing up.

I was very saddened to hear your news, my family’s thoughts are very much with yours at the moment.

Take care and be strong

Hi Ross, Id just like to say well done to you and your family for staying soo strong at the funeral. I was, like everyone else, in floods of tears. I would just like you to know that Emma was the kindest and prettiest girl i had ever met. And she will not be forgotten. I attended the funeral in my Girls Brigad polo shirt in order to be there as an old friend of Emma, and also to help support Sarah, being a member of my Girls Brigade company. I would just like to say that I am always here for Sarah if she ever needs to talk to me. She knows where i am on a Tuesday night x. Stay Strong, Emma’s watchin over you all, like the angel she is xx Lots of love Claire Walsh x

Hi Ross,

I came across your website this afternoon. It looks impressive — I didn’t realize you were into all this IT stuff.

Actually, I had been sitting in the office thinking about Emma and contemplating the meaning of life and what it’s all about, and I decided to do a google search for motor neurone disease, etc., which led me to your site. You’ve done a really nice tribute to her — that’s a nice thing to have been able to do.

Mairi and I were deeply saddened at Emma’s death. We were aware that the long-term outlook wasn’t good, and that she had been steadily deteriorating for a while, but we didn’t realize that things had got to such a serious stage yet, so it came as quite a shock.

We had hoped that at least one of us would have been able to attend the funeral, but unfortunately we were in Spain this week and didn’t get home until 2pm yesterday afternoon, by which time the funeral had already taken place.

I hope you and the family are managing to cope all right. I think Mairi is planning to pop across and see Elaine sometime this weekend.

With best wishes,

David (from across the road at No. 53).
