THE mum of Morgan Ribeiro who died after gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey cried out to her lost child at her funeral: "I'll see you again."

Mum Erin Gibson, 44, broke down yesterday when she first saw her 20-year-old daughter's coffin, decorated in UK, Portuguese and Irish flags.

Morgan, who was one of five siblings, was carried into Beckenham Crematorium to the song Dancing in the Sky.
