She wrote: "My little nana Jean. Heartbroken doesn’t come close to how I’m feeling. The love of my life and the light of my life.

"From a little girl until now I have adored every inch of you. My brave strong nana. My beautiful nana. You were there when I entered the world and I was there when you took your last breath and left.

"I don’t think my world will ever be the same without you. I named my daughter after you for a reason nana I don’t think you will ever truly know how much I loved and adored you and still do.

"So many memories and this video is just a glimpse into them and it’s where I can constantly watch and relive them, it’s where I can come to see you anytime I want. What I would give for one more day one more hour with you even.

"I miss you nana I hope to see you again one day because I already yearn to hear you say “hello my darling” when I walk in to see you."
