Louis Samuel Bolshaw Tucker

a remarkable boy.

My gorgeous nephew, Louis, died this morning after a long and courageous battle with a brain tumor.

He was born four weeks after my eldest daughter, Bella, and they were the best of friends. From a very early age they had a deep connection which was only reinforced over time. They would spend hours engrossed in potion making and concocted lots of things that would have put Mr Potter to shame.

Louis remarkable parents, Sue and Liz, ensured that this dreadful disease had as little impact on his life as possible and were active in finding the right treatments for him. It is a testament to them that right until the end Louis still had an amazing life full of love and happiness. Both Louis and Bella were aware that he had “bad seeds” in his head and that these affected him physically. They adapted to the new Louis beautifully, enjoying one another's company to the end.

The world will be a sadder place for his passing.
