Emily’s older sister Megan has a launched a GoFundMe page.
She said: “Emily was the kindest person you could ever meet she was so full of life and to have her taken away so suddenly at just only 17 years old.
“It has completely broke me and it breaks my heart that we may not be able to give her the send off she would’ve wanted.
“So I’ve set this up so hopefully we can give her the best send off.”
