Coleen Rooney pays tribute to her late sister Rosie on the 11th anniversary of her death as she shares sweet snaps of teenager with her son Kai

Coleen Rooney paid tribute to her beloved sister Rosie on the 11th anniversary of her death.

The WAG, 37, told her late sibling she ‘loved her to the moon and back’ as she marked 11 years since Rosie passed away in 2013 aged 14 on Instagram on Friday.

Rosie died after her lifelong battle with Rett syndrome, a rare brain disorder that causes severe disabilities.

Coleen shared a series of sweet photos of her teenage sister with her eldest son Kai, 14, who was born in 2009, and one of Rosie looking at a laptop.

She captioned the post: ’11 years without you. We love and miss you always Rosie Mc.’

The McLoughlins took Rosie in as a foster child when she was two and while they previously just provided respite care, Coleen noted that ‘Rosie was different’ in her Wagatha Christie Disney+ documentary.

She explained: ‘When Rosie came along she was a massive part of our lives. She was the sister that I never thought I was going to have.’

Speaking to her mother and her father Tony, she continued: ‘I used to do her hair and used to love picking clothes with me mum for her. She brought that little bit extra to the house. We fell in love with her.’

Yet the family soon realised that Rosie was struggling with her development, and after a series of hospital tests she was diagnosed with Rett syndrome.

Coleen explained: ‘Rosie, she struggled. She couldn’t walk and talk and would be in pain and sick but she still put a smile on her face.

‘Sometimes she used to force a laugh out. I think it was just to make my mum and dad happy.

‘Gradually her brain wasn’t functioning so she couldn’t eat anymore, couldn’t talk, move.’

Heartbreaking: Coleen Rooney broke down in tears as she discussed her late sister Rosie in emotional scenes on her new Disney+ series about the Wagatha Christie scandal

Rosie needed 24-hour care and after suffering from ‘lots of complications’ and being admitted to intensive care, Colette revealed the family decided to bring her home to spend her final days surrounded by her loved ones.

‘We had a sleepover, one last sleepover, all of us together,’ she explained. ‘And then we had a big party to celebrate her life.’

Breaking down in tears, Coleen said: ‘To lose a child is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone but when you look back now she gave us so many good years of happiness and love.’
