“You was the most inspirational person, everyone loved you babe, how my heart aches right now. I will see your beautiful face soon, goodnight my sweet Desi.”
Desiree is believed to have been residing in the UAE where she had previously worked in property and marketing, reports the Liverpool Echo. Her latest role, according to LinkedIn, was as a business consultant at Property Finder in the Middle Eastern nation.

“Our family will never be the same without you. Our queen of Dubai. I hope you are in a much better place you beautiful soul.”
Autumn Harrison penned: “Our gorgeous Desiree.. my big cousin and best friend. Your beautiful soul shined right through you, absolutely stunning from the inside out. Yours was the warmest heart and the kind of energy that made anyone around you drawn to you
“You didn’t just care about people, you made people feel truly loved and I felt your love so deeply. Always the first to comment on posts, always reminding us how gorgeous we were, always telling me that life is too short to care too much and to just do what makes you happy. I promise I’ll carry that with me forever, for you.
“You were the one that made every family occasion, every party, every deep conversation. You’re the only person I’d listen to a three minute voice note from.
“We haven’t stopped talking about you in the group chat, waiting for you to voice note back like you always do and make us howl one way or another.
“There will never be another you Des. Oh our beautiful Des, I can’t believe I am writing this. Family is everything, and you lived by this..You made every second with all of us count and gave us memories to cherish for life for this I couldn’t be more grateful.
“You adored us all and that’s something I will always feel when I think of you. We will all miss you so so much and no words are big enough to explain the gap that you have left in our family and in each of our hearts. I promise to be there for your mum Jas and Luna.
“I love you forever and always angel girl. One in a million.”
Desiree’s mum is understood to be travelling to Dubai today, May 13.
