A man and woman travelling in the same car as Winnie-Grace were left trapped with multiple injuries.
Hero bystanders - an off-duty paramedic and off-duty firefighter - had performed CPR on the little girl until emergency crews arrived in a desperate bid to save her.
Winnie-Grace's aunt echoed Louie's moving sentiment, writing: "Can’t remember life before you, couldn’t imagine life without you...
"On Monday 14th February 2022 at 18:29 our darling girl gained her angel wings.
"No amount of words can describe the pain how much pain we have endured as a family.
"Our Winnie-Grace fought a tough fight over the last 2 days & she will always be remembered for the darling diva she was, please bare with us all whilst we grieve our daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, niece and cousin.
"Forever our Valentine."
A page has been launched in dedication to the little girl to raise funds for her funeral to give her "the best send off".
