Mum's touching gesture to stranger after dad dies from covid

A mum who lost her dad during covid left a stranger stunned after responding to her post on Facebook.

Joanne Bloor, 53, had a special connection with her dad Francis, known as Johnny to his loved ones, before his death in 2020 to covid. They had a special bond - which Joanne attributes partially to her being the oldest child, as well as the trips they took to Goodison Park to watch Everton since she was a child.

Soon after his death Joanne, from Liverpool, dedicated a corner of her garden in memory to her beloved dad. She adorned it with blue and white flowers, and a little blue Everton teddy bear of her son's in memory of her diehard blue dad.
