In the midst of plans to hold a fundraiser in her honour, the grieving parents of a “bright and lively” girl who fell at school and ultimately passed away have offered a touching homage to their daughter.
Neve, 11, passed out in March 2021 at Dicot Girls School in Oxfordshire. Her parents were later informed that Neve had an incurable brain aneurysm.
She was put into a coma but died the following day.
Because to the epidemic, this was only her second day of school since Christmas.
Her parents have admitted they still visit her former room, which they had taken back the week following her death, and speak to her “every day” two years after the tragic incident.
Mum Mary Parlett told the Oxford Mail: “We keep the door open and every day we go in to speak to her.
“Neve had chosen the carpet in her room, and she was really excited. Her room was exactly how she wanted it. She’d asked for certain furniture. She was getting out of her little girl stage.
“When you have something this traumatic happen to you, you feel like you are almost living in a bubble and the concept of time completely changes – I can’t comprehend it’s been two years and that we’ve survived two years.”
Vicky Lay, a family friend, is preparing to run the London Marathon later this year in their honour.
Neve collapsed at school and never recovered consciousness, she said on her JustGiving page. She was an 11-year-old girl who enjoyed singing, books, and her dogs (her “fur babies”), but she loved her family and friends the most. She was a bright, energetic, and beautiful kid. She was unfathomably adored and will be greatly missed.
We are collecting money for Helen & Douglas House (HDH), an Oxford organisation that provided Neve’s family with the special help and consolation they required in the days and weeks following her death, as well as in the years that followed.
