The heartbroke­n parents of a nine-year-old girl who died suddenly described her as their “hero”.

Family and friends dressed in bright colours to release balloons with special messages and kisses to the heavens as a final farewell to beautiful Heather Hunter at her funeral last Friday.

Heather’s heartbroke­n mum, Michelle, told the Wishaw Press: “She was an inspiratio­n and the way she fought her illness was amazing.”

Family friends Claire Gilchrist and Louise Donnachie Henderson have raised more than £4000 in her memory.

They said: “Heather had the sweetest, kindest, caring and compassion­ate nature.” FULL STORY PAGE 3
