“Our last dinner together before we flew to Rome.” We had the sake pairing. Obviously,” she continued.
“I have always loved these two, but never more than now.”
Lauren concluded her post with some heartbreaking words.
“These are the worst photos ever taken, but I appreciate them,” she added.

Chron Australia can reveal that when police entered the hotel room to carry out a welfare check, officers believed Jock had died of natural causes and found nothing to suggest otherwise.
According to sources, no drug paraphernalia was found in the hotel room either.
Heartbroken Lauren said at his funeral: “We were two halves who found each other at just the right moment in life, when we were ready.”
“We were ready for this great love, a life full of adventure, becoming parents together, imagining things and actually making them happen.”
