Emma Bailey wrote on the Go Fund Me me page: “To help the family we’re opening up a ‘Go Fund Me’ account to help with any funeral costs and make it a little easier for the grieving family in need. All donations will be greatly appreciated.” Linda Emsley wrote on the Go Fund Me appeal page: “My heartfelt condolences to all the people involved in Mylo’s short life, donation seems the least I can do.

“Wish there was something to take the pain of grief away from you all.”
