For those of you that do not know her, our darling friend and tribe member Louise writes the blog Little Hearts, Big Love all about her family including her beautiful daughter Jessica who was born with only half a working heart. We have all followed and supported Louise, Michael, Jessica and Sophie in their family life and even more so recently when Jessica underwent major heart surgery and did so well.
However, this morning on the 14th April 2018, we received word from Louise that sadly little warrior Jessica had passed away suddenly in the night. I may not have met Louise and Jessica in person but I sat down and cried. I cried for Jessica, I cried for Louise, I cried for their whole family. I cannot imagine the grief they must be going through or how they must be feeling and the tribe as a whole felt the same.

There are no words which will ever be enough but at least this is an action which shows what we want to say. The heartbreak and shock has numbed me all day. Sending love to them all. #tribalchat
