"I have never known how much love and happiness I could have until you came into our life. You are the smartest & happiest little boy I’ve ever known."
The mum then recalled some of the quirks that made Asher special, saying he was the 'happiest little boy I've ever known'.
She also recalled how Asher clapped his hands, danced and stuck out his tongue when he laughed.
"My heart is utterly broken and shattered into a million pieces. I will never understand why, nothing makes sense, I’m still in shock, I just want to wake up from this unimaginable nightmare and have you back in my arms," Tran Ferguson continued.

"You did not deserve any of this. Losing you is the hardest experience mommy and daddy has ever had to endure. "Everyday has been torture without you, this pain is unbearable. I still feel like you’re going to reappear but our home is so quiet and empty without you."
The heartbroken mum went on to say that 'part of me had died with you', before adding that she is 'heartbroken' and has 'no idea how to live a life without you'.
Tran Ferguson continued by saying she is haunted by Asher's absence, saying she sees his 'big smile' everywhere she goes.
