Kerry captioned the post: “This brave, beautiful mother, wife, daughter, sister and the strongest person I’ve ever known, lost her fight far too young.
“She fought for the last two years so hard and was so determined to make it to 2024 and she did. So many funny and amazing memories we have shared over the years since she was a young girl.”
Kerry went on: “I’ll never forget laughing our [bleep] off watching Love Actually to Hugh Grant dancing. We must’ve watched it 1,000 times. We love you so much and we’re going to miss you so much Lauren. Rest in peace beautiful angel. Don’t take life for granted people.”

Kerry on moving plans
It comes after Kerry recently discussed her plans to start a new life in London with her children and beau Ryan Mahoney. The Atomic Kitten star, who lives in a reported £2 million Cheshire mansion, was originally thinking about moving abroad to Spain – but she says she’s “conflicted”.
“I’m feeling a bit conflicted right now about our move,” she wrote in her New! column. Kerry went on: “The plan was to move to Spain in July but I’ve been working so much in London recently that it’s difficult to know what to do. I’m barely ever at home in Cheshire because of travelling down south. It makes me wonder if we should be relocating to London rather than Spain.”
