So very sad...the author of Poppy Cat has died. here

Can we all say a prayer for her...she was a mumsnetter, and a lovely one at that.

I would bet that most of us have at least one of her books on our shelves.

RIP Lara x

So very sad, so very young

too young.

So young and so sad. Malignant melanoma is far too common.

Rest in Peace, Lara.

oh such sad news

Oh no, how terrible for her poor father. Writing an obituary for your own child ... it is awful.

Tragic.

Awful. She was very talented.

She sounded like an amazing woman - her poor family

I think one of them was in Bookstart bags for a good while. I can't remember which.

We love Poppy Cat here.
I'm so sorry that her family have lost this wonderful lady. Am sitting here in tears.

That is so sad and far, far, far too young.
