Mum’s tribute to son who was ‘a bundle of joy’
The mother of an eight-year-old boy who tragically lost his life following a collision with a car in Catterick last week has bravely paid tribute to him.
Joshua’s mum Kirsty has described him as “a bundle of joy, who was always smiling and always lit up the room.
"He loved everyone in his life, his family, and his friends, he loved music and motorbikes and football, he was a proud Chelsea fan.
"Joshua was kind and caring and loved with every part of his soul especially his mum, we were best mates.”
Joshua’s mum would like to thank everyone in the emergency services who attended that night, and to everyone in the local community who have reached out to her.
