Yet we join today with Joshua, Izabella and Maddison, Michael, Sharon and the rest of Emma’s family to celebrate Emma Lee Beadles life.

Josh’s Page

We first met each other on a couple of occasions a few years before we got together, at the time we both had partners.

Eventually we had both became single and we were both at our mates Kev and Esra’s house. We had our first kiss that night in their shed, very romantic in the dusty old shed.

She so funny and cheeky, always making me and others laugh, stirring me up and doing pranks on me all the time.

She loved star wars which was great cos I do too, she would send me messages like Yoda one that I want.

After a couple months she moved in with me at my parents unit and a couple months after that we found out she was pregnant, which was totally unplanned, but a blessing all the same.

We had two girls born a year and a week apart Izabella and Maddison and she loved them fiercely.

She had a big heart she was always helping people even if they’d burnt her in the past and I was telling her not too.

Emma was also tough, stubborn and headstrong.

When she got the bad news that she was terminal with cancer all she could think about was playing one last game off football before all the treatments and surgeries had to begin. That last game she kicked 4 goals and got best on ground.

Emma soldiered on for the next year and a half or so going through chemo, radiotherapy and surgeries, but rarely would she get upset when most people would probably crack and fall apart, most would give up but she fought on for as long as she could.

She was an awesome mother, wife, lover and friend.

It was and still is an honour to of had the chance to be with you for some of the best days of your life, to be your husband, friend and father to our two beautiful girls.

Goodbye sweet Emma doo, We love you.

Some stories and a poem from Sky Emma’s older sister.

When Sky and Emma were young girls sky asked Emma to straighten her hair. At the time they only had an iron to use so they did it on a towel on the floor, sky was complaining about how long it was taking so Emma held her down and held the iron close to her scalp, ouch.

Another time when they were older, they went fishing together. There was a duck swimming on the water, Emma said I’m gonna get that duck and with the first cast she hooked it. They let the duck go and it was ok. On another fishing episode Emma broke her own rod catching another rod. She loved fishing.

This is a message followed by a poem sky wrote for her little for her wedding day:

The people that knew Emma knew how amazing she was, I was lucky enough to have the privilege of growing up with her. Like any sisters we had our ups and downs. I’ll never forget the cheeky things that we got up to and I’ll tell your two beautiful babies’ stories about you all the time. They may have lost their mother but they have gained four more. Not a day will go pass that I will not think of you, love you always and forever.

This is a poem that I wrote it’s called my little sister

I love my little sister

You wouldn’t want to battle her at twister

I’ve got to watch you grow like a blood blister

You have always been my partner in crime

We go together like lemon and lime

Always laughing and having a good time

My little sister has a massive heart

She will never leave you in the dark

And could always do one ripper of a fart

She is so very strong

And thinks she is never wrong

But her love will be forever long

My little sister loves to dance and sing

I’m always borrowing her things

She is awesome because she’s always there when I ring

My sister is like a straight line that will never bend

She is my very best friend

And I will love her to the very end.

Love you a million, million times

Sky

Message

We come together in grief, and we acknowledge our human lost.

And ask that God grant us grace, that in pain we may find comfort, in sorrow hope, and in death resurrection.

James 4:13–14 NIV

13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

James

Today we face the fact that we are mortal and we all have to face death.

Emma

We celebrate a life that was lived. Emma did have that cheeky fun loving side that we all loved and remembered well.

Over the past week I have wondered what words I should speak here today.

In reality there are no words seem right and fitting for such a moment and I would not want to diminish the pain and hurt from Emma’s passing.

But I understand that there was a reason that Emma asked that I would do her funeral service. A faith and hope that was within her life that death is not the end of our spiritual existence. For there is a hope that surrounds the heart of those that believe in God.

I believe that God is right and just and that He does what is right.

Legacy

I felt that I need to encourage today that Emma lives on in our thoughts and memories. But more than that Emma lives on in her beautiful children.

Today I challenge Emma’s family and friend’s not just to be here on this day but to be there when needed into the future. Committed to support and stand with Josh as he raises Izabella and Maddison. To impart the love and toughness, cheekiness, that willingness to help others, and a beauty of heart that was more than superficial.

Proverbs 3:5 NIV

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Prayer.

Words of Committal

We can take comfort in the words of the apostle Paul in

2 Corinthians 5:6–8 NIV

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Emma is today absent from this earthly body and present with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 NIV

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Here we commit the body to its kindred dust - Earth to earth, ashes to ashes and dust to dust. The spirit has gone to be with God and the body awaits the resurrection. We look forward the glorious appearing of our great saviour Jesus Christ when the dead in Christ shall rise and again and we will be united with Him forever.

Let us Pray
