The family of Garston student Jan Henney have spoken of their pain at losing the “vibrant” teenager.
The 18-year-old passed away in the early hours of Monday morning in hospital after being struck by a bus in Garston Lane last Tuesday.
A statement released today said: “The family of Jan Henney would like to thank all of their friends and loved ones for their wonderful support over the last five days.
“Jan fought really hard against the odds, but sadly it was all too much for her and she passed away peacefully at 2am on Monday January 23.
“We cannot believe we will not be seeing her lovely, vibrant and cheeky smile but we are so proud of her and we were all blessed to have been part of her wonderful life.”
