TWO families are in mourning for a young couple who were killed in a horrific car crash.
Natalie Watson, 18, of Albemarle Gardens, Braintree, and her boyfriend Christopher Emerson, 20, of Church Green, Little Yeldham, died in a road accident between Braintree and Chelmsford.
Natalie's parents, Jill and Michael, and her brother Craig have paid tribute to her, describing the teenager as a fun-loving, bright and bubbly girl who was passionate about everything she did.
Natalie was born in Braintree and was a former pupil of the town's Tabor High School before going on to further education at Braintree College.
She had been working as a trainee dental nurse and was hoping to become a hygienist or therapist.
Christopher attended The Gosfield School, where he enjoyed his school time and was well liked by everyone and where he was always willing to contribute whatever he could.
He worked hard and gained good grades in eight GCSEs before moving on to Braintree College.
