Inverness mum loses brave battle with leukaemia at Highland Hospice
A young mum from Inverness “will be missed everyday” after losing a brave battle with leukaemia.
Abbey Robertson (21) died peacefully in the care of Highland Hospice on March 4.
She was a much-loved mum, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt and friend.
An online fundraiser has been set up to support the family as they grieve.
Abbey’s sister Chanelle and brother Jordan have paid tribute to her: “With the heaviest of hearts, we share the devastating news that our beloved little sister, Abbey, has lost her brave three-year battle with leukaemia aged only 21. She leaves behind her beautiful baby boy who she had endless love for and would move mountains for.
“She fought with incredible strength, courage, always finding a way to smile even in the darkest moments. Abbey was the light of our life, full of love, laughter, and kindness that touched everyone who knew her. Her cheeky wee smile will be missed everyday.
“As we face this unimaginable loss, our greatest wish is to give Abbey the beautiful send-off she deserves, a celebration of her life that reflects the joy and love she brought into the world and our family. We want to honour her memory in a way that is as special as she was and show her the love everyone had for her.
“I never imagined having to plan my sister’s funeral at this age (25). Abbey deserved so much more time, and now, all I can do is try to give her the peaceful resting place she longed for. I don’t have the means to do this alone, and I’m reaching out in the hope that kind-hearted people can help make this possible.
“Every single donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving Abbey the farewell she deserves, ensuring Abbey’s farewell is filled with the love, warmth, and dignity she deserves. If you can’t donate, sharing this means just as much.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time. Abbey’s love and spirit will live on forever with us.”
