Natasha said: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you.

“Your support has meant so much. I don’t understand why you’re all doing what you are for us but I want you to know you give me strength.

“What you have done is unbelievable, overwhelming. I have never known such kindness and feel I’m undeserving. I’m just a girl who has always lived on the breadline, shopped in charity shops and all my love is for my children.

“I miss Louisiana and want her back. I want to keep busy. I have to keep busy. I can’t sit still. I hate the night times. They are lonely. I miss my bed buddy.”

A picnic by Louisiana's- graveside is being planned to mark her third birthday.
