Chris and Ashley who passed away during her sleep

Little Lennon James Pico was given a heartbreaking bedside serenade by his father hours after his mother passed away during childbirth.

Before he was born, the tiny newborn would often move to music and kick his mum Ashley's tummy whenever a catchy beat was played.
