A Sheffield girl who died while on holiday will have her funeral held today, Thursday, March 26, at Ecclesfield Church.
Cherish Bean, 15, of Parson Cross, was found dead along with Ethan Slater, 17, from Shiregreen, at a holiday park in Bridlington last month.
In tribute to Cherish, her mother, Devon Bean, said: “My girl, my world, my love, my everything.
“My perfect girl, my angel, has left this world and we are broken as a family. I am broken as a mother, and I will never ever be the same again.”
The pair are believed to have died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while they were on holiday with family.
As part of the ongoing investigation, police arrested four men on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. They were questioned and later released on bail.
The procession is planning to leave her family home at 11.30am and will travel along Wordsworth Avenue before turning left onto Church Street.
A large turnout is expected, and Cherish’s family has asked those paying their respects to line the route and follow behind.
Cherish will be laid to rest in Shiregreen Cemetery after the service.
Then Wadsley Bridge Working Men’s Club will be holding a wake, where family and friends are invited to remember Cherish together.
Cherish was described by loved ones as a “fashion icon”, known for always “perfectly” coordinating her outfits, from her shoes to her handbags and accessories.
Mrs Bean also said: “If you know me, I live and breathe my babies, and we were away for a few nights making the best memories ever. We have had the best life together and it has been ripped from under us.
“There are no words, I am shattered and will never recover. Hug your children tonight, you do not know how lucky you are.
“Ethan, bless you darling, such a good boy with a kind heart and I loved you like my own.
“I am broken, please respect us whilst we grieve.”
Cherish’s mum says she will never forget the last time she spoke to her daughter.
She had complained to her mum of a headache before she went to bed that night.
