"Coleen's husband Wayne has also paid tribute to little Rosie since her passing. Ten days after her tragic death, he scored the winning goal for Manchester United against West Ham in the FA cup and blew a kiss and raised his arms up in the air in honour of his sister-in-law.
He and his wife also took out a near full-page advert in a local Liverpool newspaper so the family could continue to honour the youngster.
In his personal message to Rosie, Wayne wrote, "I will miss you so much. I will never forget the way you laughed and those big beautiful eyes. You are an inspiration to me. "God has called for you, so we have to let you go, so take your eyes and that big smile and make heaven glow. "Heartbroken Coleen, who rushed back from a family holiday with her son to be with Rosie before she died, wrote, "I can't get my head around that my special little sister has gone… "An angel sent to our family, a sister I never thought I would ever have. Our house is never going to be the same without you. Love you so much Rosie Mc. "There was also a message from the couple's son Kai to his "special auntie"."I am going to miss you so much but you will always have a big place in my heart and in my mind," it read. "Days out with Nanny and Grandad aren't going to be as special coz you're not going to be with us. I can't wait to tell my little brother all about you. "Rosie was adopted by Coleen's parents Colette and Tony as a baby.
A statement issued on behalf of the family at the time read, "We are heartbroken, but we are blessed to have had her in our lives. "We shall cherish forever the memories we have shared and the love she showed us each and every day."
