Elizabeth Claro Irish dancing champion angel

[BowleggedBrooklyn]

What a beautiful beautiful girl. Even when you dont know someone your heart can fill up with empathy and sadness for those who suffered and continue to suffer. Its so very hard to relate to and understand & maybe I shouldnt try to. I mean absolutly NO disrespect by that. I really just dont think there are appropiate words that one can say to articulate ones self when you truly truly feel for others. Its heartbreaking. God Bless you.

[Idance011]

beautiful girl. beautiful dancer R.I.P

[larrylgray2]

I often sing at funerals, three of the last four have been suicides, two of those three teenagers.Depression is nothing to fool around with. It kills!I've been to the edge of it myself but thankfully didn't cross over. So, so sad for her.

[caramorello]

this story has moved me so much that i still come back to watch this video every so often. What a tragic loss, she is missed. I feel connected to her. This just makes me so sad Lily, I'm so sorry that you felt you couldnt go any further in your young life. I pray that you are now with Peace.

[caramorello]

i found this video by mistake also. ive since been back to re watch it. I can't believe such a young beautiful talented soul, who actually loves so close to me has done something like this. I really pray for you lily. this is incredibly sad... Love you lily.

[danceallnight7]

r.i.p. Elizabeth. 

<3

[cuppycakekid12]

[cuppycakekid12]

[danielle1231828]

omg that is soo sad even though i didnt know her i hope she r.i.p she is very beutyful and was a very good dancer. how did she pass anyway im srry for her family but hopefuly they know she will be in there hearts forever!! r.i.p

[bckennels]

i remember her, R.I.P <3

[Newbitstatic]

I don't know this girl, nor do I know anymore than what this video showed but I can relate to her through dance and I can feel the loss from this. If she could make me as a stranger nearly cry from this, I can imagine what she could have given in life. If any of her friends or family read this, I feel for you, truly.

May she dance forever and find her peace.

[MissODonnellx]

This is so sad, What happened to her? x

[RandomRandommer]

I still cannot fathom this. She was the most beautiful dancer I ever saw. Beautiful dancer and beautiful person... R.I.P LIly

[siobhan1234ful]

I have not seen her dance but i know she was AMAZING.I saw videos of her on you tube though.Let her Rest in Peace

[taryndancer29]

awe so sad, she was so good too! what nationalities was she? such a pretty girl! may she r.i.p

[RebiTitanic]

This is really sad, but at least while she lived, she made a name for herself in the world, not many people get to do that.

[LuinaeLove]

R.I.P.

Irish Dancers all over the world keep dancing- for you, for dance, and for themselves. 

[tco13v]

Such a tragedy and a sad indictment of our society that one such as she slipped through. My condolences to her family and friends, may her memory shine forever.

[xanglat]

Beautiful song !

beautiful...Miss !

thank you very much for posting

[wannaknowit]

She is so beautiful that she could have even won a beauty contest.....not only is(was)she beautiful,but she seemed to be a funny person to be with....it is very hard to believe that she was depressed. If I am in shitty mood,I would not be able to smile at anyone,wonder how she could do that?(If that was the case of course)

[LeaDance1]

May she rest peacefully with the dancing gods xxx what a talent !

[jezek21]

i think, if angels do exist, one is in the video above

[littlejess888]

miss you so much lily. x

[DaRkIrIsHDaNcEr86]

She's a beautiful girl! How did she die?

[seanos1985]

@DaRkIrIsHDaNcEr86 Lily was a great friend of mine and I'm still in contact with her family. It's a very sad story and I'd rather not put the details on youtube, but I'm sure if you were that interested google could help you out.

I miss you a lot lily and I think I always will... Miss our drives and everything... just watching this makes my eyes water. Missing you forever xxx even 4 years on :( Kisses to my angel!

[ChloeGeorgeAndSoph]

R.I.P

Does anyone no how she died xxx

[STHFGDBY]

Depression is a hidden killer. Sometimes even happy looking children can be traumatised by this terrible Illness. They can even hide it from those closest to them. This poor talanted kid was probably dying inside while she gave the impression she was very happy, just like the smiling photo of her here. RIP Elizabeth..

[danielle1231828]

@STHFGDBY what was she depressed about thats so sad she was a great dancer

[IrishdancingMolly]

Was she spanish? She is incredible, God bless her she had a gift

[kicazz2141]

[irishdancer103]

ELIZABETH CLARO had dreams of becoming one of the stars of Lord of the Dance.

As the best Irish dancer in Australia, she had a better chance then most.

But the five-time Australian Gaelic dancing champion was found dead in her Sydney home by a relative the night before her first HSC exam. She had committed suicide.

[Zhyttya]

[maidmoira]

RIP lily,

[MayoforSam2012]

God Bless her!!

[lola1661]

I'm a Scottish Highland dancer and our dance community is very very close knit as is Irish. I can't even begin to imagine this; from one celtic dance form to another-- my heart goes out to this beautiful girl, beautiful dancer; and her family, friends, and the rest of the Irish community. RIP Lily Claro

[dansmith337]

the irish dancing world takes a bow before you , boyle o'dowda school of irish dance

[donxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

inclued delany academy of irish dance we all look up 2 u u were an amazing dancer lil!!! rip it kills me inside 2 no that your gone!X

[littlebaeihuhdfjhg]

i just found out and its so sad. shes so good and is really pretty. i cant understand why someone so fantastic like her would die. xx Rip xx

[saoirse3473]

everytime i see something about poor lily, tears well up in my eyes. such an inspirational dancer, and a beautiful girl. According to someone who knew her, she was very bright, and very lovely to be around, always filled with life. RIP lily...

[ChoclateSmores]

god bless her because every one who is irish like me should bless her because she could have been a friends friend so i bless her hope her family and friends are okay :(

[Roopalmer]

Lily's life was precious, valued. All life is precious. Life is a gift from God, yet evil organisations promote that living is a sin. Lily's memory will continue to those who knew her and inspired, but there are others who have missed out so much more of her value if she was still with us. We all have goals, so let us have our goals without the negative pressures from evil men. The bible says 'Without a vision the people perish' Provbs 29:18. then life can offer more hope to people.

[sharelder9]

A beautiful girl and excellent dancer lovely to watch am so sorry for all her family and friends my prayers are with you all xx

[FeisGirl]

RIP Lily Claro.

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

[shadowgirl1300]

Very Sad to see someone so young pass,may her family and friends be strong....

[scotlegranail]

She was gorgeous!! Wow... strange how someone so talented and had the world ahead of them.... loses their life. I guess our lessons here are sometimes short.

[Challenger305]

Wow, what a sad story. How did she lose her life?

[misterblueshoes]

I just want to say to Elizabeth's friends and family - it is obvious from the pics that she was loved and adored.

I hope that in time, the treasured memories will help to ease the pain of her loss.

My thoughts are with you all.

[misterblueshoes]

I found this purely by accident but it has moved me profoundly.

What a tragic loss.

[emvic97]

My goodness, what a beautiful dancer and such a beautiful girl, R.I.P Angel,.xxxxx

[atthestudio]

It makes me upset when people say why did she kill herself she was such a good dancer? When you have depression it does not matter. Somedays nothing matters. You just won't the hurt in your spirit to stop. Even the people that loved her the most can't make that pain go away, no matter how hard they try.

[josieROCKSSS]

when did she die?? the poor girl. she was amazing! my goodness.

[ellasAZ]

It is so sad, nobody should have to die so young, she was beautiful!

[brattyXdancer]

It's sad to see anyone die young, espically healthy girls like Lilly. She could have been even greater. I originally read about her in IDM and then stupidly forgot, untill now. I'll alwyas remember her now, even though I never so much as saw her dance, I'm sher she danced like an angel then. R.I.P. Lilly.

[achilllove]
