The family of a seven-year-old girl who died from a brain tumour are planning a special tribute to her.

Anastasia Hazell died on Sunday, May 22 after a 14-month battle with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

The seven-year-old's family had spent that time creating a 'palliative paradise' for her - which consisted of home comforts, days out and parties at home.

Since Anastasia's death, her family have been preparing for her funeral.

Anastasia's mother, Alexandra Hazell, said: "We're doing well most days.

"However, the reality of her not being here is hitting us hard.

"My son doesn't understand Anastasia isn't here anymore. He said to me the other day, 'it makes me sad when you cry. Don't miss sissy - she's just at school'."

Anastasia's funeral will be held in Ludham next week in a private ceremony.

In July, Ludham Primary School will be planting a tree in memory of Anastasia and the Hazell family are planning to put on a party for family and friends to celebrate Anastasia's life.

"I think she would have rather we celebrate her life," Mrs Hazell said.

"When Anastasia was dying, she was worried about her legacy. She was a big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul would often talk of people doing something for their legacy.

"Anastasia always wanted to know how she could help people."

From their home in Rollesby, the Hazell family are planning to establish a charity - Hope House Hazell - which aims to assist parents and siblings of children living with a terminal illness and life-limiting disabilities.

The charity will also aim to help change current legislation so families of terminally ill and disabled children can access resources and funds faster.

Mrs Hazell and her husband, James, will be making a delivery of Anastasia's remaining treatment - ONC201 - to a little girl in Wales who is currently living with DIPG.

Mrs Hazell added: "With Hope House Hazell, we are now trying to establish a charity to honour our daughter while helping others in need.

"When Anastasia was alive, all she wanted to do was help others. Hope House Hazell is Anastasia's legacy."
