A devoted father has told of his daughter’s delight at receiving a Mother’s Day letter from his late wife.
Dean Lennon, 30, from Kilmarnock couldn’t believe it when his daughter Ella, four, received a reply to her Mother’s Day card from her mummy in heaven.
Little Ella has posted the letter addressed to Mummy In Heaven, with a drawing and heartbreaking message on the envelope saying Happy Mother’s Day, I Love You - Ella.

Jennifer Lennon passed away on December 8, 2018, and this was Ella’s first Mother’s Day without her.
Ella couldn’t believe it when they received a handwritten reply from heaven – after a kind person in the Post Office saw the envelope.
The beautiful letter read: “My beautiful Ella. Thank you so much for my very special Mother’s Day card. You’re one in a million to me and I love you very much.
“Millions and billions and trillions is how much I love you!
