A loving mum and wife who died just weeks before her 50th birthday has been honoured by her close family.
Emma Bryant died on December 3 during an emergency operation, after spending six days at the N&N Hospital due to a twisted bowel.
Her family, who are still mourning the loss after holding Emma's funeral on her 50th birthday - December 22 - at GreenAcres Colney, have paid tribute to a "brilliant mum".
Emma's husband Michael James Bryant, who lived together in Mile Cross with their three children James, 10, Callum, 14, and Chloe, 18, said: "We met through a friend and hit it off straight away.

"She worked as a carer and for a time I worked in care maintenance at Mary Chatman Court in Dussindale too.
"We had a great relationship - she was a brilliant mum to our three children as well."
The family added it would be "special" if there could be applause for Norwich City fan Emma at the Canaries home game against West Brom this Saturday.

Emma's son Callum said: "I'm going to the game on Saturday with mum’s best friend, Helen Fiddy, who knew my mum for about 20 years.
"Mum was known by a lot of people in this area as a nice lady, so it would be really special to have her honoured at the game if possible."
Michael added: "It would be great to have the fans applaud, especially with my boy going there to watch it.
"I know it might be too late but it’s a nice idea by Callum and hopefully it'll happen."
