The son of murdered young mum Molly Ticehurst has delivered a heartbreaking message to mourners at the funeral of his young mum on Thursday.
Through a speaker on his behalf, the youngster told mourners of his devastating loss after the 28-year-old was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend Daniel Billings last week.
‘Dear mum, I love you. I miss our holidays together and our tickle fights,’ Nate said.
‘I wish you were here, I miss you a lot and I will love you every day and night. You are the best mum in the world.
‘You meant so much to me, but you are in my heart mum and that’s where you’ll always be. I know heaven called you but I wish you could’ve stayed.
‘I miss you a lot and I’ll love you every day and night. You are the best mum in the world.’
The circumstances or Ms Ticehurst’s death was not mentioned during the funeral other then it being deemed an ‘abhorrent act’ and a call issued to end domestic violence against women.
Her heartbroken father Tony said his daughter had a tattoo with the message ‘We only part until we meet again’.
‘I hope that’s true because I’d like to have some more memories with you,’ he said between tears.
‘Every parent wants to see their kid change the world but not at this cost.’
NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb joined hundreds of mourners for the service at Forbes Rugby Union Grounds, in central west NSW.
