The mother of ecstasy death schoolgirl Grace Handling has released a song in the tragic teenager's memory. Lorraine Heather Handling, 49, was left devastated when Grace, 13, passed away after taking the drug in 2018. Callum Owens, 21, admitted giving Grace the ecstasy pill which killed her.
But he was cleared of causing her death on the controversial not proven verdict, causing her family more anguish. And music teacher Lorraine, a devout Christian who has sung her whole life and began playing piano at the age of seven, has now used her heartbreak as the inspiration for a song as she continues to battle her grief.
Her album The Tide's Gonna Turn features the track Alive In My Dreams, which is about Grace. Lorraine, of Irvine, Ayrshire, said: "Our family was devastated when we lost Grace. The pain was excruciating and I have not been able to find any words to express it.
