Sativa, twin sister to Indee, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on January 5, 2011, when she was just 4 months old.
In May this year Sativa, having already cheated death several times, received a bone marrow transplant, with the hope it would cure her.
But at the end of August, just days before the twins' second birthday she relapsed.
More bone marrow was injected into her body in a desperate bid to push out her cancerous cells, but on September 11 parents Sheree Roose and Tim Eagle were given the devastating news that their daughter was dying.
Sativa's brave journey was charted on the Please Help Baby Sativa & Her Family Fight Leukemia Facebook page, which has amassed more than 6000 "likes".
Ms Roose and Mr Eagle were today commended for their strength and courage.
``If they continue life with this passion, they will do really, really well for themselves,'' Ms Roose's uncle Phillip Melvin said.
