Nadene's Heart Felt Tribute Post To Jonah

Grieving widow Nadene Lomu has posted a simple, heartfelt tribute to her late husband on social media nearly three weeks after his tragic death.

In the first public message since her famous All Black husband's death Mrs Lomu last night uploaded a photo to her Facebook page taken during a luxury family holiday in Dubai in his memory.

It was snapped just days before Lomu died suddenly on November 18, a day after he returned to Auckland.

The happy family portrait, which features the couple's two young sons Brayley and Dhyreille, has a simple, touching hashtag "FlyHighDaddy".

Well-wishers have commented on the recent public post with messages of condolence and support.

"Thank you for sharing Jonah with the world," posted Folola Lua.
