While Daisy remembered her mother by sharing a black and white picture of herself as a child alongside a smiling Johannah.

‘I know you’re looking down on me and I know you’re bursting with pride, not for me but for our family. How we’ve come together during the most dark times.
Emotional: Lottie’s younger sister Daisy, 16, also took to social media and shared a throwback snap with Johannah alongside a touching caption in her beloved mum’s honour
‘Thank you for bringing me into the world but then brining me up in the most beautiful way. I hope I’m a credit to you and all you stood for. I love you mama, yesterday, today, and even more tomorrow.’
Twin Phoebe shared a picture of Johannah on Stories and wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to my angel in the sky. Mama, you were and are my everything. I love you x’
She also posted a picture of her nan, sending lots of Mother’s Day wishes to her and thanking her for ‘guiding’ her through life.

‘My angel in the sky’: Phoebe Tomlinson, 16, also posted a snap on Instagram Stories and said her mum was and is her ‘everything’
The Tomlinson siblings -Louis, Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe, Ernest and Doris – lost their mum in 2016 and a sister, Felicite, in 2019 who died of an accidental overdose.
Speaking after the losses, Lottie broke down in tears as she remembered her loved ones for Sue Ryder’s #JustSaySomething bereavement campaign.
She admitted that one of the hardest parts was people not bringing them up for fear of upsetting her in the months after their deaths.
She said: ‘That’s even harder because you’ve lost that person and they fading away because people aren’t talking about them.’

Lottie said she battled anxiety after her mother’s death and encouraged others to speak openly about their grief.
She said: ‘You need to keep talking about it or you get so lost in your feelings and that can send you into quite a dark place. I definitely developed some anxiety after losing mum.
‘I always try to be as strong as I can all the time but that’s sometimes to a fault because I am always trying to put on a brave face.’
