‘We honestly would never of thought she would do something like this it just doesn’t seem real. 

‘The house is silent, no doors are being slammed or music playing at a ridiculous noise and we think that will be the hardest thing to get over the quietness and the hole she has left.

‘Mental health is a growing issue in this generation, a lot of people just push to one side but it does exist and it does affect people in different ways. 

‘If you are reading this and you are suffering, there is help out there and we would advise you to take it.
