Keira sadly passed away 4th July 2016. She was at Naomi House with Lee and I by her side. She took her last breath, closed her eyes and peacefully went to sleep. She will be extremely missed however she was a brave little lady right from the start. We can't thank her Dr's and Naomi House enough for all their kindness in our journey over the past 2 years. Sleep well our little angel
