Gabby Finlay
17-07-2000 - 11-01-2017
On the morning of Wednesday 11th of January 2017 my parents left for work before my sister and I were awake. I woke up at 8am and rushed to get ready for work.. I was running 25 minutes late. As I walked through the house Gabby asked me where our mum was and then moaned about not having a lift to school. I told her I was late for work so I couldn't take her,assumed she would walk, and left the house.
That was the last time she was seen alive. Little did I know, in two and a half hours I would receive a phone call turning my world upside down.
My dad had popped home for a quick cup of coffee as he was passing and came back to find my sister's school bag and coat still on the sofa. He didn't think much of it until he noticed our dog repeatedly running up and down the stairs.
It was then that he found that she'd taken her own life at the age of just 16 years old. We are all heartbroken and miss her terribly. The thought of growing older and living the rest of my life without my sister is almost unbearable and we don't have much in the way of sentimental value that we can keep to remember her by.
I am trying to raise some money so I can buy myself and both of my parents a piece of jewellery containing some of her ashes each, so we can have her with us wherever we go, So we never have to say the dreaded goodbye, and so I can build up the strength to let it all go and continue with my life.
We've done a brief search online and we've found that £350 is the average price per piece of jewellery, so just over £1000 should be enough to cover the costs.
Anything raised over the price of the jewellery will be donated to Papyrus, a charity which works in the prevention of young suicide.
On behalf of the family, I'd like to thank everybody for the support we've received so far, it means so much at such a devastating time. We'd all be very grateful for any donations you could spare to keep the memory of such a precious young woman alive.
