THURROCK Nub News was invited to Bluebell Court in Grays this morning to share the celebration of the life of Emily Meacher.

Emily was one of the first residents welcomed into Bluebell in 2006 when it opened.

She lost what little family she had over the years and for the last 6 or so years Bluebell staff and management adopted her as their own.

She passed away in the care of the staff on 13th April and the team at Bluebell wanted everyone to see what a special person she was and how much she was loved.
