"As mother and father we are shattered and feel helpless but pray that our beautiful girl is at peace and have no choice but to accept this was the will of god. Mummy and daddy love you Mariah until we meet again my princess.”
Kiara’s family said: “Our beautiful Kiara was a very smart girl, wise beyond her years. Her smile could light up the darkest rooms. She was very outgoing and had lots and lots of friends.
"We will miss her infectious smile. Her cheekiness would drive us mad but also make us happy at the same time. We are at a loss at what to do. We are heartbroken and will miss our beautiful Kiara eternally."
