With heavy hearts, we announce the passing. When you find out who she is, you will cry
Rachael Marsland faced an unimaginable tragedy when she woke up to find her 5-year-old daughter, Lila, unresponsive beside her on December 28, 2017. Despite frantic efforts by medics, Lila had already passed away.
Just weeks shy of her sixth birthday, Lila was remembered as a kind-hearted child who touched everyone she met. Her parents, Rachael and Daz, still don’t know the cause of her sudden death, leaving their grief unresolved.
A month after her passing, a packed church paid tribute to Lila at her funeral. In her honor, the family started Lila’s Light, a charity creating grief bags for children mourning a sibling, ensuring Lila’s memory continues to shine.
