“Please keep her name on your lips, her memories alive and her bravery in your hearts,” the grieving mother continued. “Please share with us every detail of how she touched your life or kept you brave.

“We are, of course, gutted for Bella. Her bowel transplant last August was supposed to be the last medical trauma she would ever have to endure,” her mother told People at the time. “We are not out of the woods.”

“She sailed through that recovery faster than any child with a bowel transplant has, and finally she could be free of hospital stays,” she added.

Unfortunately, the mother had to share a gut-wrenching update a few days later.

“She was fearless,” Kyla told the outlet. “What ever she faced I never saw fear in her. She taught me bravery.”

Although she was no stranger to going in and out of hospitals, Bella Brave always had a positive spirit, which the internet fell in love with

Her bereaved mother now hopes that people will continue to remember her daughter for her “love and light.”

“Don’t ever stop sharing her love and light,” the grieving mother said after her death. “Don’t let her memory ever fade.”
