Please be bright for little Layla

The heartbroken family of little Layla Greene are inviting friends and family to celebrate her life by wearing bright colours at her funeral next week.

Three- year- old Layla lost her battle w i t h neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that forms in the nerve tissue, on Saturday, 13 January.

Loved ones will gather at the Normandy Hotel for a service at 11am on Thursday, January 25, before moving on to Hawkhead Cemetery.

Those who go along will be able to donate to the Schiehallion Unit at the Royal Hospital for Children in collection buckets at the Normandy Hotel.

Layla’s family have requested that any money that would have ben spent on flowers for Layla goes towards the Schallion Unit.

Wishing to celebrate their little girl’s life family including mum Louise, dad David and brothers, Robert and Matthew, ask that everyone who attends the funeral wear bright colours.

Layla, from Renfrew, was diagnosed with cancer in March last year.

Having undergone gruelling chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and radiotherapy doctors gave family the news that nothing more could be done for the inspirational tot this month.

Family, friends and the Renfrew community rallied round with a JustGiving page, raising over £ 6,000 with numerous fundraising events taking place, including a charity football match.

Two nights to raise funds for #TeamLayla will still go ahead to commemorate the brave girl.
