Lisa said in the emotional message: "My baby girl is gone. Gone forever. No more birthdays with us. No more Christmas Days with us. No more family time all together.

"No family should have to endure that.

"No sisters should have that special girl they have known for all their time on this earth taken from her.

"No 11 year old brother should have his idol taken from him.

"No dad should have his first born little girl, his princess, taken from him.

"No grandparent should lose their first born grandchild child.

"No aunt and uncle lose their first born niece.

"No mother should have to watch her family go through all of that."

"There have been so many low points but by far the worst point was having to call Connor, the absolute love of her life, and tell him I am so sorry the girl you love the most in the world has gone.

"The girl you planned to be with for the rest of your life , the boy she planned to be with for the rest of her life.

"He made her happy. She made him happy. That made me happy.

"My heart is broken for her friends.

"Those little people who came in to her life when she was pre school and are still there.

"Those precious little people that she meet at school in September 2002 ~ the class her very experienced teacher told me was “a unique class of children who acted more like brothers and sisters, not just friends”
