Letter from dying mother to six-year-old daughter found after 15 years

A lost letter from a dying mother to her little girl which was found in a second-hand bookshop in England has been returned to its rightful owner after 15 years.

Bethany Gash, 21, thought she would never again see the loving words her mother Lisa wrote to her after the note went missing in a house move when she was aged about six.

Gordon Draper, owner of Bondgate Books in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, recently found the letter and a photo in the same envelope, tucked in a pile of books.
