Confirming her sad passing, Sophie’s mum Charlotte thanked the public for their support.
In a touching tribute, she wrote: “Who would’ve thought a 10-year-old could have such a huge impact on so many people.
Sophie had so much more to give
“It feels so surreal and although I knew she was dying I still can’t believe she’s gone. Sophie had so much more to give and it shouldn’t have been this way.”
Charlotte continued: “She was the most beautiful, funny, caring, strongest girl ever.
“She would light up a room wherever she went.”
