Dad's moving tribute to life-saver Louise Smith, UK

ChronicleLive | Dan Warburton

A GRATEFUL dad has issued a heartfelt tribute after he was given the gift of life thanks to an organ donation.

New mum Louise Smith beamed with pride a fortnight ago as she held her newborn baby for the first time.

But just days later she collapsed at her Tyneside flat after suffering a brain haemorrhage.

Her partner John Henry Sayers led emotional tributes to the doting mum after medics were forced to turn off her life-support machine following a five-day fight for life.

Moving tributes from a man named only as David can today be revealed after Mr Sayers allowed the release of personal letters.
