Absolutely heartbreaking.

Johannah Deakin, mother of eight children including music star Louis Tomlinson and beauty blogger Lottie Tomlinson, passed away last week after a battle with leukaemia.

Lottie first debuted a tattoo on her arm, which you can see below, back in October but she’s since revealed that the photo is of her ‘mama’s lips’.

The 18-year-old shared the information on her Snapchat account and also posted a beautiful photo of Johannah (42) on her Instagram account with the caption:

“My beautiful Mum…I love you forever”.

A statement released by Johannah’s family last week read:

“It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th December 2016”.

“Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukaemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. We respectfully request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private”.

Johannah is survived by her husband Dan Deakin and seven children, Louis (24), Lottie, 18, Felicite, 16, twins Daisy and Phoebe, 12, and twins Ernest and Doris, aged two.
