Elsewhere in the interview, Jess spoke about how Jonnie had told her he’d come back as a robin when he died.
She also confessed that she wasn’t prepared for the end when it came.
“It was cruel how quick it was. He came out of hospital the previous Friday and we lost him a week later. He didn’t leave bed the entire time, so we weren’t able to get out in the fresh air and process things,” she said.
She also revealed what Jonnie told her at the end.
“He told me ‘I’m so happy I met you’ and that he knew the boys would have the most joy and fun a person could bring,” she then said.
