"“She’ll be a big miss to so many people because she was the life and soul of the party.

“We thought once her transplant was done and everything was OK, she’d be able to have a normal life but it’s just one of those things that we have to accept.

“We were making plans for the future, things like going to Florida on holiday, which we’ll never do together now.

“But we have taken as many positives from Becky’s life as we possibly can and that’s helping us a lot."
