Pop star Tallia Storm bids goodbye to ‘hero’ late dad with emotional funeral performance
TALLIA Storm has shared an emotional tribute to her late father Sascha following his funeral on Wednesday and praised mum Tessa Hartmann for her strength during the difficult time.
Last month Real Housewives of Jersey star Tessa revealed her husband had passed away suddenly.
Today pop star Tallia took to social media to share moments from the day as the family celebrated Sascha’s life.
She wrote: “Wednesday wasn’t just a funeral.
It was a celebration of life. Our favourite gospel choir flew in from London, Zac on the saxophone followed by Zac on keys and me singing ‘Sunny’.
“Johnnie, Kae & my amazing Mum with an incredible speech… Tessie’s strength & nothing but love across the entire church.
“A celebration of the greatest man we’ve ever known.The entire day felt like we were in a film, sadly, the film was a real life story.”
Tallia included a clip of her singing at the funeral, showing her performing an emotional rendition of Sunny by Bobby Hebb.
She added: “Thank you to my unbelievably amazing Mum for being so strong at a time where our worlds have shattered.”
Tessa shared her own heartbreak last month when she revealed Sascha’s passing.
She wrote: “This August we were meant to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Instead, I am organising his funeral.”
“The past 24 hours have passed in a blur. We are utterly shattered. Broken beyond anything I could ever have imagined.
“I ask, if you are able, to keep our family in your prayers as we try to find the strength to face the days ahead.
“Sascha, we loved every single part of you. Your kindness. Your laughter. Your humour. Your remarkable mind. Your music. Your beautiful piano playing. We will keep playing your songs, telling your stories, and carrying your love with us for the rest of our lives.
“Until we meet again, my love. My person. My soulmate. My best friend. The father of our four beautiful children. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all – our family. I will cherish that, and you, forever.”
