Rosie tragically passed away three years ago, aged just 14, after suffering from rare genetic condition called Rett Syndrome.

Taking to social media on the anniversary of Rosie’s death, 29-year-old Coleen shared a sweet snap of her beloved sister and wrote: “Always on my mind!! 2 years today [sic].”

Coleen – who shares sons Kai, six, and two-year-old Klay with husband Wayne – released a touching statement following Rosie’s passing in 2013.

It read: “Throughout her life she brought so much love and happiness to all our family and everyone who knew and met her.

“She was such a strong little girl and an inspiration to us all. We shall cherish forever the memories we have shared and the love she showed us each and every day of her life.

“As a family we are heartbroken, but we are blessed to have had her in our lives.”

It’s thought Coleen and Wayne are expecting a baby girl, although they’ve yet to confirm the sex, and she recently opened about pregnancy this time around.

Speaking to the Express, Coleen said: “It’s been an OK pregnancy actually, although I’m ready for it to end now. I’ve been really lucky with pregnancies so far; with the others I never suffered from morning sickness or anything like that.”
