Taking to his Instagram, Sam shared a throwback photo of the siblings smiling alongside each other.

Fans were quick to react, with one Instagram user commenting: "There is so much love and connection in this photo, it is as if in that split second, cancer didn't exist and it was all about a brother literally making his sister giggle <3"

"A beautiful showing pure love and joy. I can see why it would be a favourite for you," another wrote under the candid photo.

"That smile! I adore this photo! I can just imagine the beautiful memories that come with it 💖," one more wrote.

Before she passed, Connie and her actor brother built a legacy together with their charity organisation "Love Your Sister."

Rainbows carry hefty pricetags, turns out.Thanks for showing me that life is what we make it to be. Thanks for teaching me that now can still be awesome, even when you've so nearly run out of now and have no more real awesome left. I wish I could soften your pain, or lessen your fear, or give you something tangible, but tangible clearly isn't in season. I'm proud to walk you to the hardest part of the road. The end. The only part of the road in your life that must sadly be travelled alone. Chin up please, amidst the growing dark my girl. Shoulders back. Stand tall through that savage march, stand big and tall, dear sister, for you have lived a life to be proud of. You've loved well, and you've been loved well which is all that really matters in the end, I suspect. I won't finish with I love you, though of course I do. I'll finish with a simple thanks. Thanks for holding my hand along the way. It's been a stunning fucking ride. I want another turn, for we've spent our lives taking turns, but cancer is greedier and stronger than us. For now. So Little Miss Connie Cottonsocks, I shall now again and proudly declare myself, very truly yours, Your ever grotty and very sad little brother, Sammy Seal. XX @samueljjohnson78

Connie lost her battle to breast cancer on September 8, 2017.
