"Louise, Stephen, Katelyn & boys my heart is shattered for you all on the loss of your beautiful, kind and talented Mia Lily.

Another wrote,

"Louise and Stephen, I am so sorry for your loss. I was deeply saddened to hear of Mia Lily’s passing. I knew her only as the beautiful little toddler with two plaits and a bright smile, and that is how I will always remember her. Katelyn, I cannot fathom the pain of losing a sister. You loved and cared for Mia Lily as if she were your own. Nothing will ever make sense of what has happened to your family. Please be gentle with yourselves during this time. My sincere condolences, thinking of you all every day."

While another simply wrote,

"The country is brokenhearted for all the family. Such a tragedy."

In a statement released by her family earlier this week, Mia Lily's mother Louise said that she will "never be whole again" and that her heart will "always ache".

Louise described her daughter as "a gift" and a "truly talented girl".

"She was my daughter, but she was also a sister. Her sister left behind and her three baby brothers are never going to have the same life."
