Bethany had a heart transplant at just six months old - one of the youngest ever to have one in that hospital. On Monday, she passed away with her mum by her side after it was suddenly rejected by her body. 'She was loved by everyone.'
Bethany Griffin, from Leeds, was one of the youngest babies to ever have had a heart transplant at the Newcastle Freeman Hospital 22 years ago.
Due to being on and off a ventilator, Bethany was sadly never able to get the heart which could have given her a chance. Bethany's sudden death has sent shockwaves throughout her community, with hundreds donating to a GoFundMe page organised for her funeral and leaving heartfelt messages."She was the oldest of five and everyone adored her", Louise told the Yorkshire Post.
"She couldn't have loved her job any more than she did, Bethany never wanted to take the uniform off."
