After the birth of Bertie, Sinead went on to have treatment and earlier this year was told her tumour had shrunk and showed no sign of of spreading.

But a few months later, Sinead discovered a lump on her neck and doctors later confirmed her cancer had spread and she didn’t have much time left.

She passed away as her husband Daniel read Bertie a story.
