Mia told the : “Every single day, I always go to ring Ava and text her just to see what she’s doing. I don’t think it’s ever going to sink in.”

Mia also said it is hard for her and her mum to be around their nieces and nephews because they are all Ava’s age and used to hang out.
She said: “She would always make them laugh. It’s so different now. You can tell something is missing in the family.”
Mia described her sister as funny, loving and caring, adding: “Me and Ava were really close. We told each other everything.
"We would sit in each other's rooms until we went to bed, and just laugh, take pictures and listen to music like normal teenagers."

She described getting a call from her auntie after she put on pyjamas that Ava had given her the previous Christmas.
Her auntie said Ava had been injured terribly, so Mia darted into a taxi to the hospital. Her mum told her she was in a critical condition and she was then told that her sister had passed away.
Mia, who is campaigning against knife crime, said: "Why would you ever want to ruin someone else's life and your own?
"No one should be going through what we're going through."
In July, mum Leanne heartbreakingly said: "My beloved Ava dies all over again every morning I wake up. My Ava dies again every moment she's not with us for the rest of my life.
"She was my life, the life and soul of the party. She was a happy, healthy child adored by her family. The light of my life was dimmed forever."
Ava's evil killer, who cannot legally be named, sobbed when he was found guilty after boasting that he would "get away with it".
