One wrote: "1 year ago today Rebecca Sivyer - so sad... God took another angel too soon RIP Beautiful."
Another added: "Rebecca a year without you, it’s been the worst. We all would give anything to have another day with you. No words can describe the pain."
Wendy later thanked friends for their efforts to remember her daughter, writing on Facebook: "I’d like to take the opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who participated in remembrance of Rebecca’s 1st year memorial anniversary of her sad and tragic passing.
"To each of you who changed there profile picture to Rebecca or posted pictures and took the time out of your day to light a candle, for all the lovely tributes that were written and all the private messages that were sent to me; the flowers and cards received.
"I cannot thank you all enough for helping, I have been overwhelmed at the amount of support and kind words of encouragement that we have received at this difficult time."
She added that the family - herself, Rebecca's sisters Alexandra and Scarlett, and Rebecca's daughter Millie, nine - thanked everyone from "the bottom of our hearts".
