Millie Gribble was a six-year-old girl from Barton, Lancashire who tragically passed away after being hit by a van. Described as 'a priceless gift' to all who knew her, Millie was a kind, caring and funny individual with a love for life and a passion for playing football, swimming and going on new adventures. She had dreams of becoming a police officer when she grew up and starting a family.
Today, her parents have paid tribute to their daughter, saying that:
"Millie was not only an amazing little girl, she was a precious daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend but most importantly she was a priceless gift to us all.
There are no words to describe how much Millie was loved and how her loss has affected everyone who knew her.
Millie loved spending precious time with family and friends. She had a passion for playing football, swimming, going on new adventures and was a big fan of music and YouTube. She also loved going on exciting adventures with her family.
Millie had so many great qualities; she was kind, caring, funny, clever, energetic and full of life. She loved her pets, her hamster Fang, her brother's cat Mia and her 14-week-old puppy Duke who was her little side kick.
Whenever Millie entered a room she would never fail to light it up like she did with all our hearts. She never failed to make us laugh and smile with her mischievous antics and adorable sense of humour."
The devastating tragedy occurred on Garstang Road in Barton, on August 15th. Two other children, a 14-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, suffered injuries and remain in hospital for treatment. A 59-year-old man from Nateby was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and has since been released under investigation. Lancashire Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses or anyone with information, dashcam or mobile footage to get in touch.
Millie Gribble will 'never be forgotten'. Her family have signed their tribute with the moving declaration, "Millie you may be gone Sweetheart but you will never be forgotten. We hope you are flying with the angels in peace." Love you always with all our hearts Mummy and Daddy XXXX.
