The family of Isabella “Bella Brave” Thomson is encouraging people to wear pink in her honour on Friday.
The 10-year-old died on July 14 after she was put into a medically induced coma after a “rapid fibrosis-like deterioration” of her lungs.
“Please keep her name on your lips, her memories alive and her bravery in your hearts. Please share with us every detail of how she touched your life or kept you brave,” Bella’s mom Kyla wrote in a post on Sunday.
Waves of support flew in on social media after Bella’s death, with people sharing what she meant to them.
Kyla requested that people wear pink on Friday in memory of her daughter and share photos and stories to “keep her light going.”
