Rachel Hunter's mother Janeen Phillips has lost her battle to cancer.

At 9pm Last Night with a complete circle of love sitting beside her, Jacqui, Myself, Liam & Renee, comforted Mum in her last breaths. The beauty that surrounded that moment was a moment only she could have created. Yes there was so much pain in her last 18 months, but we will never forget the force of beauty, fire, protectiveness, empathy, strength, and of course the realm of magic that exists in and around her. We will see you soon our love. Every time I look at nature you will exist . Mother Nature exists forever🌙 and so do you.✨. . I can't thank you all for your love . At this time I also want to send love and support to all that are going through this .
