"Isabella was a lovely girl. Her mother was never far from her, they did everything together. Zdena never went anywhere without her. Her daughter was her life."

"Zdena thanked everyone who donated the page and says it means a lot to them."

Catherine Ritchie, principal of Lingey House Elementary School, where Isabella was a student, said: "Isabella is very loved by the entire school community.

"She was the kindest, most funny and caring girl, and her friends were very well thought out. She had a contagious laugh and touched everyone she met. She will never be forgotten."
