From as early as she can remember, Rebecca Ross knew that she had another sibling – a beautiful big brother who she never got to meet.

Growing up, she was surrounded by countless photos of Gerard on the walls of her family’s homes in Australia and then in Scotland, smiling his cheeky grin or pulling funny faces, alongside his framed artwork.

Her parents Stewart and Cyrese openly reminisced about their time living Down Under before Rebecca and her twin sister Rachel were born, with stories that always featured the couple’s beloved second-born.
