A grieving family from Helston are appealing for help in covering the costs of a funeral for a much-loved daughter and sister who has died unexpectedly this week aged just 21.

Edyn Williams, who was also a mum herself, passed away this week leaving her family and friends in shock and disbelief.

Now her heartbroken family have begun a Go Fund Me page to help try to cover the costs of a funeral they never expected they would be having to organise.

Edyn’s sister Nea has set up the fund at www.gofundme.com/f/edyn-williams saying: “We know there are so many people that thought so much of her and we are asking for your help, even if you can only manage a few pounds we will be eternally grateful.

“We need to send our Edyn off in a way that she deserves.”

Writing on the fundraising page, Nea said: “It is with huge sadness that we are having to write that our beautiful, caring, much-loved Edyn Williams has unexpectedly passed away at just 21 years old.

“As a family we are broken and in pieces. Edyn leaves behind her mum, her brothers and sister and her beautiful children who are all going to miss her more than words will ever explain.

“As a family you can imagine we would never have thought we would have to bury our Edyn and as a result we are going to struggle to give her the send off she deserves.

“We know there are so many people that thought so much of her and we are asking for your help, even if you can only manage a few pounds we will be eternally grateful.

“We need to send our Edyn off in a way that she deserves.”
