A grieving father has paid tribute to his seven-year-old daughter who tragically passed away at a golf course.
Nyla May Bradshaw was discovered in a pond at Owston Hall golf course in Doncaster following an extensive search and rescue mission. She had been reported missing on Monday morning, prompting the deployment of specialized resources such as drones and police aircraft to aid in the search efforts.
In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook, Nyla’s father, Kieran Bradshaw, expressed his profound loss, describing Nyla as his cherished “best friend” and an “amazing daughter.” He reminisced about their shared moments, from singing together during baking sessions to creating Spotify playlists for car rides.
He further reflected on Nyla’s carefree spirit, noting how she saw the world as her playground, bringing joy to all who knew her. He expressed deep sorrow over not being able to hear her voice again and shared his hope that she would be greeted by her grandfather in heaven.
