Sister of socialite shares her eulogy

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson’s sister has shared her emotional eulogy after the socialite was laid to rest at a private funeral.

Santa Montefiore said she hoped her sister was being looked after in heaven and that she was resting.

Palmer-Tomkinson, 45, died on February 8 from a perforated ulcer.

Author Montefiore posted her tribute on Twitter and Facebook.

She addressed the moving eulogy to her late sister, saying she knew she was there in spirit.

It said: “My darling Tara. I hope you know how much we miss you. From the moment you were born we were a family of five, but now we are four and that just isn’t right.

“I hope you’re aware of all the lovely things people have written about you, and that you are touched, because you never believed you lit up a room or made people feel special, but you did. You really did.

“I hope that you are resting, because you found life hard and now it is done.”

Montefiore said she had always tried to look after her younger sibling.

“I hope they are looking after you now in heaven and that you are letting them, and that you heal,” she said.
