“Some privacy would be appreciated during this trying time for our family. We adore you greatly, always and forever. RIP, Mom.”
In addition to the tribute, Mead shared several photos of her mother, some of which showed her cheering on the Lioness at the 2017 European Championship when England won after defeating Germany in the championship game at Wembley.
