At the time, she shared an emotional tribute dedicated to his life and all the memories they got to share together.

"Three months ago today he walked me down the aisle & now he is walking with the angels," Sarah wrote.

"I'm left with a hole in my heart & 34 years of beautiful memories... growing up together as children into adults.

"You fought THE BRAVEST battle Big Squirt to the very end and I promise to always live by your standards; to remember what you taught me, "it's all about the journey, not the destination" & "have no regrets". I love you, I cherish you, I salute you. You can rest now, we know you're dancing up there in the heavens, always watching down on us. Forever all my love, Medium Squirt x"
