But before she slipped into coma, she asked her mum to "promise you won't leave me". "Of course not, I would never leave you darling," responded her tearful mum Kaye.

Edwarda's lungs collapsed, her kidneys failed and heart faltered, causing a lack of oxygen to her brain and she never came out of her coma.

Life before the coma

Edwarda lived a normal and loving life, enjoying activities like riding ponies and spending time with her younger sister Colleen before the tragic.

In late 1969, Edwarda was diagnosed with diabetes and prescribed an oral insulin medication, which was later banned due to its dangerous side effects.

When she fell ill with the flu, the medication caused sugar to accumulate in her system, leading to severe complications.

Family's unwavering devotion

Despite her deteriorating condition, Edwarda's family remained by her side. Her father, Joe, and her mother, Kaye, devoted themselves to her care. Joe worked multiple jobs to cover medical expenses before passing away in 1977.
