Belinda Taylor is one of two people who died in a parachuting accident in Devon
A four-year-old mother and her parachuting coach have been killed after a parachute.
Tandem Jumpers Belinda Taylor and Adam Harrison died Friday afternoon at 15,000 feet in Dunkeswell Airfield near Honiton, Devon.
The plane passengers said the two men's parachutes and reserve parachutes failed to open and both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The tribute was poured in by Ms. Taylor, 48, including her partner Scott Armstrong.
Her son Connor said
“I miss you so much, you are my best friend,” he posted on social media.
“Thank you for everything [have] Finished for me [from] Let my children feel at home.
“I'm lost without you. I feel lost, I don't know where the home is without you.”
He told the Mirror that he bought skydiving as a gift for his “adrenaline addict” girlfriend.
Mr Armstrong added that he was watching the jump with his binoculars when he saw one of the jumpers not opening.
Ms. Taylor is the mother of three adult boys and a teenage girl and the grandmother of two children.
Her eldest son, Connor Bowles, paid tribute to her and told Devonlive: “On Friday, June 13, our family lost mom, Belinda Taylor.
“She is a selfless woman who only wants the best, especially her loved ones. She will be missed deeply and will leave an eternal impression on everyone she meets in her life.”
