Levi O'Malley, 33, released a memorial balloon in memory of his sister Scarlett, 27, who passed away in April 2021.
A grieving brother has said he is 'connected for life' to a Dutch couple who discovered the balloon that he released in memory of his tragic sister 500 miles from where he let it go.
The two families have been in contact ever since but Levi said he 'didn't think' this would happen when the balloon was released. The balloon landed in a scarlet-coloured tulip field and the couple were so touched by Scarlett's story that they decided to name a new species of the flower after her. Levi, of Blackburn, Lancs,. said: "We've been in contact with their family for the past two years. They've sent over hundreds of tulip bulbs for us to plant in Scarlett's schools and around the homes of family members, as well as in Australia where Scarlett and I used to live.
Pieter said: "When I looked at the page I started to understand that the young woman had passed away and from that moment I couldn't let it go. Pieter gave the balloon back to Levi and Kate when he visited them, which Levi said left 'everyone in tears.'
