Laura Hillier was just 13 when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Through medication, in four years she became cancer free, but sadly the cancer returned. Sadly, she passed away on the 20th of January, 2016.
Hillier’s family shared the news of her passing from their Facebook page where they would share updates from Laura’s life and treatment.
“She fought bravely and all of you would have been so proud of her. Her poise, her courage, her strength and her pure spirit shone through right until the end,” the family shared.
The family also encouraged the people who would like to say goodbye to Laura, to decorate her coffin to show their love for Laura. Her classmates and teachers had helped to her family with their wish.
Laura was only 18 when she passed away, and she was waiting for a transplant. Her family and loved ones were around her when she was gone.
As we have said before, the treatment worked before, but in 2015, the cancer returned more aggressively. Laura was attending to Nelson High School in Ontario, Canada and she was in love with music and theater.
