"She was a lively, bubbly and much-loved wee girl who just loved to entertain; through telling stories, singing and sharing jokes. 

"She will always have a place in our hearts and the whole school community will forever treasure our fond memories of her.

"As a school, we are supporting one another to come to terms with this painful loss.

"The family are at the forefront of our minds and we send them our love. Aig fois agus sìth."

Aig fois agus sìth means at peace in Gaelic.
