Mourners at Nyah James’s funeral in Swansea were urged to follow the “example” set by her kindness and compassion for others<\/h2>\n
Family and friends of a schoolgirl found dead after allegedly being bullied on social media have said a heartbreaking goodbye to the 14-year-old.<\/p>\n
Mourners at Nyah James’s funeral were urged to follow the “example” set by her kindness and compassion for others.<\/p>\n
A horse-drawn hearse carried her to a packed Swansea Crematorium today after she was found dead in her bed by her mum last month.<\/p>\n
Dominique Williams told the Mirror her “beautiful daughter” took an overdose of prescription tablets after being relentlessly bullied on Snapchat and Facebook.<\/p>\n
Nyah’s name and the word ‘sister’ were spelled out in flowers surrounding her coffin, which was embossed with her picture and images of the skyline of New York – a city she dreamed of one day visiting but tragically never did.<\/p>\nNyah James was found dead last month (Photo: Mirror Online)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Delivering a eulogy on behalf of Nyah’s family, Reverend Andrew Davies told mourners the schoolgirl had showed how love could “make a difference”.<\/p>\n
He said: “She had a soft heart and she did many things to support and take care of [people.] She didn’t like the thought of anyone left on their own.<\/p>\n
“I was really touched when I was told that Nyah didn’t like it when people cried and were left on their own. I was told she sat next to a girl on the school bus because she was on her own.<\/p>\n
“That’s love. Loving people really makes a difference.<\/p>\n
“We remember Nyah today and in the future and we will reflect on her life, what an example she was and we can go on and make a difference.”<\/p>\nNyah James is thought to have been bullied before she died (Photo: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
He added: “She was an amazing girl who was born into love and who brought a lot of love with her when she came into the world. An amazing girl who left a lasting impression on those who knew and loved her.<\/p>\n
“Her spirit of fun would be a trait of her life all the way through. She had a great sense of humour, she liked to wind people up, but in a good way, she was always making her family laugh.<\/p>\n
“I’m told she loved animals and once had a ferret which attached itself to her dad’s nose, much to her amusement.<\/p>\n
“She was a talented girl and a great dancer. She attempted acting and she was good at it, winning a place at a performing arts group, and there was a time in her life when she thought of becoming an actress.”<\/p>\n
Of her ambition to visit New York, the vicar said: “She had a dream to travel to New York one day and her bedroom was decked out in New York colours; in some way she is there today, you may find.”<\/p>\n
Reverend Davies, who asked all those gathered to take a moment to remember the schoolgirl from Blaenymaes, Swansea, while Dancing in the Sky by Dani and Lizzy was played.<\/p>\n
He added: This is a difficult time for them as a family but I know they derive great comfort from the support they have received as a family.”<\/p>\nDominique Williams, mum of Nyah James, said she wanted ‘justice’ (Photo: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Nyah’s brother Daryl bravely fought back tears to pay a tribute to his sister, reported the South Wales Evening Post .<\/p>\n
He said: “She was my little sister. She was the best little sister. She was awesome; everybody who knew her said so.”<\/p>\n
Another mourner reflected after the service: “What a lovely girl she was; so very caring. It’s such a sad loss.”<\/p>\nNyah James was laid to rest at Swansea Crematorium (Photo: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Last month Nyah’s mum, 43, told the Mirror she wanted “justice” as she claimed her daughter had been tormented by bullies.<\/p>\n
She said: “I didn’t see any signs at all. I only found out she was being bullied after her death.<\/p>\n
“One of my step-daughter’s cousins was told by another girl Nyah had been bullied – I’m aware messages were being sent on Snapchat and Facebook.<\/p>\n
“Since then, a few people have come forward to say she had been targeted at school.<\/p>\n
“Her phone has been seized by police who are investigating. Whoever is at the end of it need to realise what they’ve done – we need justice.”<\/p>\n\n
