She promised her mother she wouldn't let them be split up

Shannon Ellis is just 22 but in January she bravely took on her five siblings after her mum Shelley, 39, died in January this year.This Mother’s Day she received handmade cards, boxes of chocolates and bouquets of flowers from her brothers and sisters – Mia, 16, Neve, 15, Bracken, 13, Keevie, 10, and Blaine, eight.

‘She’d take us on family trips to the seaside and would muck in with us playing games. On a Saturday night she’d always rustle up a huge home-cooked feast.‘She made me want to have children of my own and she was over-the-moon when she became a grandmother to my two little boys.’ As the number of her siblings grew, the Ellis’ became one big happy family, even after Shelley broke up with their dad.Shelley pictured in hospital with her children shortly before she died

Shelley’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and just two days later they were told the end was imminent.Shelley was moved to Alice House Hospice, Hartlepool, to make her final days more comfortable, and the family gathered around to make their heart-breaking goodbyes.‘They were so lovely and understanding and made sure she had everything she could have needed until the time came.’
