Hundreds of mourners packed into the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Bossley Park, many wearing touches of pink, to say goodbye to the 12-year-old girl.
That’s how the heartbroken parents of 12-year-old Charlotte, the Santa Sabina student who took her own life earlier this month, have remembered her.
Kelly and Mat delivered the eulogy, paying tribute to their “soulmate” who was “wise beyond her years”. “I couldn’t wait to go to sleep so I could see you in the morning. Now, my angel, I can’t wait to go to sleep so I can see you in my dreams,” she said. Mat thanked Charlotte for letting him into her life when he first met Kelly and giving her stamp of approval.Mat read from the last Father’s Day card he would receive from Charlotte, where she described him as her “captain”.
