Heartbreak as brave Isabella dies aged 11
Brave schoolgirl Isabella Lyttle from Walsall has died.
The 11-year-old, who had been battling cancer for almost 10 years, died at home surrounded by her family on Sunday, April 28, her parents announced.
Isabella had been battling high risk neuroblastoma since she was three years old and needed specialist treatment in America.
Her family launched a campaign to fly her safely overseas - and had raised more than £150,000 out of a £200,000 goal.
Her father Mark said about his daughter's death: "We are now lying broken on the floor, searching in vain for Isabella and the pain is unbearable.
"As parents we now have to somehow draw once again from Isabella’s immense reserves of strength, bravery and courage to somehow get through this.
"We’ve both never felt such a pain as these two broken heart’s and can only thank everyone that is trying to pick us up at the moment from the floor and hold us as we grieve and try to make sense of Isabella not being here.
"To be perfectly honest I don’t know how we are ever going to get over this."
