'No one will ever forget' - Our readers share messages of condolence to family of much-loved Amelia who died of cancer aged 8
Shropshire Star readers have shared messages of condolence to the family of Amelia - a much-loved youngster who has passed away from cancer yesterday (March 17).
Amelia Kolpa, from Rowley Regis, had been battling stage-4 high-risk neuroblastoma since she was two years old.
To celebrate her eighth birthday this year, while under palliative care, an appeal to grant her a simple birthday wish for cards saw her receive more than 250,000 birthday cards - smashing the 8,000 target and capturing the hearts of people across the region.
But thoughts are with the family this morning after her heartbroken mum Katarzyna Bartczak announced her daughter died around 5pm on March 17 - saying she is 'no longer suffering.' Read the full announcement from her mum here.
Shropshire Star readers, who have followed stories of Amelia's birthday campaign, have rushed to send messages of condolence to her family at this difficult time - which is a testament to how her bravery touched so many people in the community.
