Amanda helped Ann-Marie and Darren, 34, arrange Ezmai-Gray’s funeral. Restrictions put in place by the Government due to the pandemic meant only a limited number of people were able to attend. But Ann-Marie – who now supports 4Louis, Essex Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity and Angel Babies and Children – showed her gratitude for all of Amanda’s support by inviting her to the funeral. She added: “I was only allowed ten people at my daughter’s funeral because of the lockdown restrictions. “Amanda had helped me so much since first meeting her, including arranging the funeral, that I made sure she was there ahead of some members of the family. I didn’t know Amanda before, but she has become a friend.
