'I just want her back': Daughter's plea to bring mum's ashes back to Halifax

Charlotte Robert, 18, who lives in Pellon, is moving mountains to bring her mum Jaime Robert, 42, back to West Yorkshire after she died of cancer last Friday, after it spread to her major organs, causing chronic liver disease alongside with other health problems.

Her mum had been living in Lanzarote since moving there in December 2018, but wanted to return home to see her daughter, but due to coronavirus travel restrictions was restricted in her travelling.

Charlotte said: "She was bubbly, out going and would have done anything for me.

"I've never had a relationship with my biological father after he left when I was a baby, and I try to keep in contact with my stepdad.

"But I feel she was my only parent.

"It's the most important thing in the world for me to get her back home.

"Before she died, she kept telling me how much she wanted to see me and come back to England.

"It's heartbreaking because we fell out before she moved, so to bring her home would be closure to me. - I just want her back."

This week, Charlotte has been in contact with solicitors in Spain and has paid for legal costs, but she is now pleading to members of the public to help with transporting the urn home, as well as funeral costs.

"I’m only 18, I need help to cover funeral fees," said Charlotte.

"She will be cremated tomorrow so I'll be organising how to get the urn back to England.

"I have the option of her being collected and brought home, or to be sent home, and as you know Covid-19 is a issue, and flights aren’t exactly as available as the norm.

"I just want to say a huge thank you to everybody who’s reached out to me, my family, and to the people who have donated and shared."

Once back home, Ms Robert says she will spread her mum's ashes in Warrington, where she is originally from.
