Thank you for setting up a tribute fund for Louis. Donations in memory of a loved one help make sure we can be here for more people experiencing a mental health problem. On behalf of Mind, we have lit a candle in memory of Louis. We hope that you find your tribute fund a place to remember and celebrate the things that made them so special. We are here for you too, so wanted to let you know that you can find advice about coping with loss and grief on the Mind website.

Louis the bear. My supporter, nurse, joker, scrabble challenger, cuddler, confidence booster, teacher, rocker, clothing twin, fellow waffler, but most of all, my friend, who accepted me as I am. My girls have wonderful memories of you that will stay with them forever. I already miss you so much, but I am grateful for my time shared with you and am so proud of how much you achieved. There was never a dull moment with you and I could waffle on forever. This isn't goodbye, just have a rum ready for when I arrive, or if the scientists are right, see you on the next reload x
