THE grieving family of a Shafton youngster who lost her year-long battle against cancer last weekend have paid tribute to their ‘little fighter’.
Five-year-old Isabelle Cullen, of Manor View, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of the disease called rhabdomyosarcoma last May and died at Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, Sheffield, on Sunday afternoon.
Mum Julie, 43, and sister Amy, 19, told the Chronicle that although their worlds have been shattered by their loss, the local community’s condolence messages are helping them get through such a difficult time.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
