Attached to my heart

Created by Michaela Groves 11 years ago
Lillian Groves had just turned 14 years old when her life was taken away and our world had been turned upside down. She was a beautiful young lady that was just beginning to blossom and bloom, full of energy and life, a real treasure. She had the most beautiful smile something which we miss terribly and a fantastic sense of humour packed with giggles and laughter. Her lovingness and just her presence of being in the same room bought happiness and pleasure something she will always be remembered for. Her life was cut short by a speeding driver doing 43mph in a 30mph zone with drugs in his system, who received a low 8 months' prison sentence for the charge of 'death by careless driving' and was told by the judge he would serve just four. Because there is no offence available to the courts of driving with illegal drugs in your system he faced no penalty for smoking cannabis on the day of the crash. Our whole family life has been shattered and torn by what this one individual has done. Lillian is loved and missed by so many it breaks our hearts. We have now set up a campaign in Lil’s name called "Lillian's Law" calling for Zero Tolerance on Drug Driving.
