She wrote: ‘She went above and beyond for me and was my best friend even though she had a habit of pinching my clothes, so many great memories that I’m so, so, so grateful we got to make and share and that will never be forgotten!
‘Her only concern in life was if she looked bloody bloated so please don’t take this virus lightly because you never know what’s around the corner … ‘
She added: ‘About time people took this seriously, before too many people end up in this devastating position!’
