pictures from Facebook: Bella Brave

Hundreds of people gathered in Swift Current yesterday to celebrate the life of Bella Thomson, or Bella Brave, a young girl born with no immune system who passed away earlier this month.

Bella’s mother, Kyla, requested that those attending her funeral, at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church, wear ‘anything pink and fancy’, as that’s how Bella would have wanted it.

Although she lived with a mutation of three rare diseases, Bella touched hearts with social media posts about her health journey, which garnered the attention of several celebrities like Halsey and Ryan Reynolds.
