A DEVON mother whose eight-month-old baby son died from a rare disease in 2020 has opened a new shop in his memory.
The business, Alex's Oak Tree, was born out of sadness but has since gone from strength to strength in Tavistock.
Alex Parsons tragically died in April 2020 after being diagnosed with Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) at Plymouth's Derriford Hospital.
