Emma Hannigan’s husband has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his late wife.
Following her 13 year battle with cancer, the acclaimed author sadly passed away over the weekend.
Just two weeks ago she revealed that the cancer had become terminal, saying, “My medical team have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at this fight but all avenues have now been exhausted.”
Since her passing, he said “Today, my Emma found peace.She bravely fought a battle against a foe with no mercy.
“Emma was the epitome of strength, love and generosity, beyond anything I have ever known. She loved her family, loved her friends, and she left a trail of glitter and joy throughout her life… with of course added tinsel at Christmas.
“She was my wife and soul mate, mother of my beautiful children, a friend to many and an inspiration to thousands, a loving daughter, devoted mother, best selling author, fundraiser, public speaker, chef and shopaholic.
“She was my guiding star and my hug to say everything would be ok. But mostly she was just my Emma, and I would need her wonderful gift with words to tell you just how much I will miss her.”
Our thoughts are with her family at this tragic time.
