A FAMILY has been left heartbroken after a teenage girl died suddenly in her sleep.

Emotional tributes are being paid for much-loved Louise Carmon, 19, of Bankfield Road, Widnes.

A crowdfunding page set up to pay for her funeral has already raised more than £2,400.

Her griefstricken mum Rachel Keenan, 34, said her daughter had an ‘absolute heart of gold’.

She said: “I’m just going to miss every last little inch of her because I had her when I was 15 and she’s just been part of my life ever since.

“We are hoping to have a horse and carriage for her because she deserves the best.”

Louise was a very talented artist and gained an A* GCSE in art at the former Bankfield School and a triple distinction at Cronton Sixth Form College.

Family friend Sarah Parkinson, who set up the crowdfunding page, said: “On June 11 a beautiful girl was taken from our lives without warning.

“My best friend Rachel, Mark and their children’s lives have changed forever.

“All our family are left with a massive space in our hearts.

“Louise you were an inspirationi to many and everyone who met you instantly loved you.

“Your quirky ways, your ever changing hair and your crazy sense of humour are just a few of the traits that we all remember about you.

“I am setting up this crowdfunding to try and help give our gorgeous little lady the send off she deserves.”
