His post read:

“Today I lost the love of my life Annabelle. I’ve never met such a kind, gentle soul and this world is at such a loss without this beautiful angel.”

“The 3 years I knew her were the best years of my life. I’m so thankful for every second I got to spend with my baby.”

“I just keep hoping that I’ll wake up from this terrible nightmare and see her gorgeous eyes looking back at me.”

“She was the most amazing girl I’ve ever met, loved by everyone that came in contact with her.”

Even though I would of loved to have spent the rest of my life with her, I am happy that she is pain free and smiling down on all those who were lucky enough to have her in their lives.”

After a head-on crash with a vehicle travelling on the wrong side of the road, it’s emerged that the driver of the other car, who also died after the impact, had been previously jailed for using his car while disqualified and is believed to have been under the influence of drugs when the collision happened.
