I am the one who paid.
It was my e-mail address used.
I am the lead passenger.
I contacted customer services.
But to whom is the refund addressed?
That's right: My husband.

Absolutely devastating news. Emily was a brilliant journalist and an inspiration, as well as kind and generous with her time. She will be greatly missed.x
We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan.
Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with Emily’s family.
