“Archie, when I met you my life completely changed and all for the better. You’re a once in a lifetime kind of boy… and I can’t believe my luck, that I found you. I really can’t.
“I only wished for so many more years and all I can say, is that when you know, you know – and I did.”
The star continued: “Thank you for making me laugh from the day we met, thank God I found a boy who could put up with my snoring.
“Everything was always an adventure, everything was always fun with you, being with you was being at home. Looking at you in a room filled with people, was just seeing home. You were my home.
“Thank you for unconditionally loving me and thank you for making me a better person.

Archie was a thriving actor and as well as starring in CBBC’s So Awkward he also appeared as a younger version of Jack Whitehall in BBC’s Bad Education in 2014.
In the CBBC sitcom So Awkward, Archie played the role of Ollie Coulton while Nethra played the role of Kat.
In January, Archie’s mother Lucy announced that her son had died after an intracerebral haemorrhage which was caused by an acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia – an incredibly rare condition that kills approximately 800 people a year.
Archie’s parents only discovered the “harrowing” details from his second post mortem four days before Christmas.
The facts were only bought to light months after an inquest into his “unexplained” death had been previously abandoned.
On January 15, Lucy shared further information about her son’s death with her Instagram followers.
The mother said: “Archie had numerous bleeds on the brain and the doctor went to great lengths to reassure us that he wouldn’t have been in any pain as it happened in his sleep. The results utterly floored us to think something like this could happen.”
