'I am the luckiest mum in the world': Samantha Davis touching response to ... trends now
Samantha Davis touchingly said she was the 'luckiest mum in the world' in an emotional response to a Mother's Day tribute just two weeks before her death.
The actor, who was married to Star Wars and Harry Potter star Warwick Davis, said she was 'so proud' to be mother to their children Annabelle and Harrison.
It came after Annabelle posted a heartfelt tribute to her mother, saying her 'bravery and kindness is an inspiration to us all', in a post on March 10, this year.
Her husband tragically revealed on Wednesday that 'beautiful' Samantha sadly died just two weeks after these messages, passing away on March 24.
In an emotional tribute to his late wife, Davis said her loss had left 'a huge hole in our lives', while her children said in a statement that 'her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives'.

Just two weeks before her death, Annabelle had released a heartfelt tribute to the 53-year-old to mark Mother's Day.
Posting a photo of herself, her brother and Samantha, Annabelle wrote: 'Happy Mother's Day mum. Your bravery and kindness is an inspiration to us all. Thank you for everything. Love, Belle x.'
Underneath Samantha wrote: 'I love you and Harrison so much. I am so proud to be your mum. Thank you to you both for making it the best today. I am the luckiest mum in the world.'
This sparked an emotional 'we love you so much Mumma' from Annabelle.
Samantha had been seen smiling with her husband during a 'date night' the loving couple had shared together in October last year.
Posing for a photo, Davis light-heartedly wrote: 'A long overdue date night with my beautiful wife. She felt a bit overdressed for McDonald's!'
The picture delighted fans of the pair, with one remarking 'you two are just amazing' and another calling them a 'gorgeous couple'.
The photo resurfaced after Davis tragically revealed his wife of 33 years had passed away last month.
In an emotional tribute to his 'favourite human', Davis said: 'Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs.'
He described Sammy, as he called her, as his 'most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career'. He said he felt like he could achieve anything with his wife by his side and that it felt like he had a 'superpower'.
'She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes,' Davis said in a statement given to the BBC.
The couple met on the set of George Lucas's film Willow and married three years later in 1991. During their 33-year marriage, they had three children - one of whom tragically died shortly after he was born.
Their two other children, Annabelle and Harrison, also paid tribute to their mother, saying: 'Her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives. Mum is our best friend and we're honoured to have received a love like hers.'
Davis said his wife's mobility had become impaired in recent years but shared how she was determined not to let it bring her down.
She had a brush with death in 2019 when she fell ill with sepsis ahead of a family holiday.
Davis previously told how he and the couple's children 'sort of said goodbye' by her bedside before she pulled through.
