A major thank you goes to all our family and friends for all their love, and support without them we would not be able to cope.

And to the general community who got behind us, gave what they could, sent us their condolences and put us in their prayers. Thank you.

If there is anyone we forgot, sorry. We received so much support it's hard to keep up.

We know that due to a freak accident we lost our beautiful daughter Mia, but thanks to everyone, we have realised that we are not alone and that there are plenty of good people in this world who are willing to help people in need, even if they are total strangers.

So thank you everyone who has helped us in this very trying and sad time in our lives, we will always be thankful for what everyone has done for us.

While we appreciate the interest that news outlets have shown in telling Mia's story and in supporting organ donation, our family asks that our privacy be respected at this time.
