"We had a bond like no other and no one could ever understand how close we were and I promise I will do exactly that to your precious baby."
The devastated sibling told how she is currently pretending it is a "bad dream" that she will wake up from.
She also attached a selection of images of the pair through the years.

"This page is to help Megan’s family in this horrible heart breaking time as they are over in Tenerife and have lost their daughter and a beautiful little baby girl has lost her mum.
