Natalie Clark, a friend of mine said that she would never accept you not being there.
She added: ‘Never thought I’d ever have to say goodbye to you, I really thought you’d be in my life forever because I can’t imagine a time you weren’t there.
We’ve gone through years and years of ups, downs, drifting and closeness and this was finally it, our friendship was rock solid and we had each other.
‘I’ll never come to terms with you not being here, but I know you’re still with us. Your little boy will be loved by all the world just like we love you.
‘He’s going to see every photograph, hear every story, and know every reason why we love you. You laughed until I was a wreck, danced like an idiot alongside me, and loved my boy like you did.
‘Your strength amazed me, your fight to get home to your boy was nonstop, and it breaks my heart your body couldn’t fight the way your spirit did.’
