All gone. Much too soon.

Callander, a student at Runshaw College in Lancashire, was the first of 22 victims to be publicly named.

She had just tweeted at Grande the day before the show, SO EXCITED TO SEE U TOMORROW . Her school said in a statement that she died in the attack, which also injured 59 people.

In 2015, Callander shared a backstage photo with Grande at Manchester Arena, the site of Mondays bombing. I hugged her so tight and she said she loved my bow. I cant get over this, I never will, she wrote at the time. Callander is on the left in the photo, below.
