“I have posted about Liam and his achievements over the years with a proud sister alert and that has stood then, now and always!!!” Nicola began.
“When I saw the news pop up on my phone that you had left us I went cold, I wanted so much for this to be untrue,” she continued. “I have spent days hoping that it was a mistake and somebody has got it wrong. You were truly too good for this earth, you are an angel who just lived for making people smile and happy. You have always shown kindness to everyone you met and it shows with just how many people confirmed what we always knew!”
Nicola noted that she doesn’t have many photos with Liam as their family didn’t want him to feel like he was “in a room of fans.” “But we were your biggest fans always and forever,” she said.
She praised Liam’s talent and for being himself before reflecting on his “excited” reaction to the birth of her daughter, including providing the humor and laughter they “all needed.”
“You led your life with a motto of why bother doing something unless you are brilliant at it, and Liam you were certainly brilliant at everything you did!!” she wrote, before turning her attention to judgements of her brother.
“Unfortunately this cruel world is always [too] quick to judge someone from a few 5 second clips, they then think it entitles them to be able to speak like they know you,” Nicola continued. “We knew you and we loved you.”
“I hope you have finally found peace up there and that you’ll continue to look after us all as you have done in life,” Nicola wrote. She added of Liam’s 7-year-old son Bear, “We will make sure Bear knows about his daddy and how much you loved him, we promise this.”
Nicola ended her statement by saying, “See you soon Liam, Love You xx.”
