Elianne Andam: Family say funeral will be 'a celebration of her life'
Speaking to the BBC before Elianne's funeral, they said she will "forever remain in our hearts".

The aunts said they never expected such a tragedy would happen to them, or that moments after Elianne said goodbye and set off for school she would be dead.
"That is the bit I cannot get out of my head," Ms Boafo said.
"She is very calm, she was the last person I would ever think someone would harm her with a knife," Ms Paintsil said.
She stressed Elianne didn't mix with "the wrong people" and the aunts said she would keep in touch with family if she went out to the cinema or a restaurant.
Speaking about the day Elianne was killed, Ms Boafo said after waking she saw her phone had been called "many times" and when she found out her niece had died she was "really destroyed, broken".
Since her niece's death, Ms Boafo said she hasn't been able to work and rarely leaves the house. She has moved in with her sister - Elianne's mother - to help support her.
