Underneath a picture of her son posing in front of a birthday cake lit with candles, the 52-year-old mother of four wrote: "My beautiful beautiful angel, I worshipped the ground you walked on, on this earth and now in Heaven.
"My heart and soul went with you. The depth of the pain is suffocating and bottomless without you every moment of every day. I will never be the same.
"Please wait for me my love, and hold my hand while I stay to continue to protect and raise your little sisters and to be here for Riley. I know you would want that.
