She posted a photo of a swan swimming in crystal clear waters as well as quotes with lines such as "strong people break too" and "friends that understand your anti-social phases are important."

Mica typed alongside her post: "Don’t mind me cos I’m not staying long, Just thought I’d come on to send love to my fellow Swans who are also outere gliding majestically across the water while your feet paddle like hell to stay afloat. You got this." She went on: "To everyone that has sent love, prayers, concern, well wishes and condolences to our family, on behalf of Marky & I we thank you @therealmarcusluther."
