Heartbreak as 'beautiful' schoolgirl, 10, dies suddenly in quiet village as tributes are paid to 'loved and valued' daughter
Tributes have been paid to a schoolgirl after her sudden death aged just 10 - as she was described as a 'loved and valued' as well as 'beautiful'. Lily Wilson passed away in the 320-population village of Simpson Cross in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales. There have been suggestions the death was linked to a suspected medical condition - and neighbours are now rallying to buy a heart defibrilator in her honour. Lily lived with devastated parents Andy and Kate and youngster sister Eva. Family friends are now raising money for a defibrillator after saying: 'Every rural village should have access to such vital resources.' The schoolgirl, described as a 'loved and valued pupil', died suddenly and a post mortem examination is expected to be held to give the cause of death. Funds raised will also help cover the costs of Lily's funeral - with £13,000 already donated, smashing the initial £2,000 target. Family friend Emma Robertson, who set up the JustGiving online appeal, wrote: 'Last week, dear friends Andy and Kate suffered the most devastating sudden and unexpected loss of their beautiful 10-year-old daughter Lily. 'The pain of the last week is a pain no parent should ever have to imagine, let alone navigate their way through. 'Lily was a loved and valued pupil in Roch community primary school and I know her friends, their parents and staff alike are all heartbroken at the sudden loss of Lily. 'With the permission of Kate and Andy, I would like to try and help raise funds to help with the financial burden of the funeral of beautiful Lily. 'Together, we could all help ensure that Lily has the special day she deserves and take away some of that worry from Andy and Kate, so they can focus their attention on Lily's little sister, Eva.' Ms Robertson said that any money left over would be put towards funding for a defibrillator. She added: 'Every rural village should have access to such vital resources,' she said. 'Maybe together, we can all help this happen.' Lily was a pupil at Roch Community Primary School where pupils have been told of the tragic loss.

A schoolgirl has died suddenly with tributes pouring in for a heartbroken family's "beautiful daughter". The community in Pembrokeshire has now pulled together to help her family with the tragic loss. 1 Lily Wilson, 10, passed away in her home village of Simpson Cross last week from a suspected medical condition. She lived with her devastated parents Andy and Kate and little sister Eva and was a popular member of the Roch Community Primary School. Lily, described as a "loved and valued pupil" died suddenly with a post-mortem examination expected to be held to give the cause of death. Emma Robertson, a family friend, has set up a fundraising appeal to help Lily's family cover the cost of the funeral. More than £13,000 has been raised in 24 hours as of Wednesday, June 4, smashing the initial £2,000 target. The appeal reads: "Last week, dear friends Andy and Kate, suffered the most devastating sudden and unexpected loss of their beautiful 10 year old daughter Lily. "The pain of the last week is a pain no parent should ever have to imagine, let alone navigate their way through. "Lily was a loved and valued pupil in Roch community primary school and I know her friends, their parents and staff alike are all heartbroken at the sudden loss of Lily." She went on to add that friends, colleagues and the local community "desperately want to help them in any way possible". "With the permission of Kate and Andy, I would like to try and help raise funds to help with the financial burden of the funeral of beautiful Lily. "Together, we could all help ensure that Lily has the special day she deserves and take away some of that worry from Andy and Kate, so they can focus their attention on Lily's little sister, Eva." Emma also stated that with any left over money, Lily's parents want to put the funds toward a local defibrillator in Simpson Cross so others have access to "vital and life saving piece of equipment". She added: "Every rural village should have access to such vital resources. "Maybe together, we can all help this happen." The appeal urges anyone able to donate to do so while those who are unable to donate are urged to share the fundraiser.
