‘She recently got back into the workforce and was saving money for future travel.

‘We’ve all grown up together and have all had babies around the same time, so enjoy watching them now grow up with each other.’

Ms Spicer said while her daughter was happy with family, she would be missing her mum who will need to learn to walk again.

‘She will need full-time care and support to get her through this hard time in her life.’
