“It was not appropriate and it was disrespectful and I've taken it down.
“It’s kind of a heavy thing to go and visit my loved ones' graves, and I decided to find some moments of levity and humour and didn’t realise how inappropriate I was being.
“I deeply apologise and I thank you guys for understanding that sometimes I don’t think things through clearly enough and I am grateful for your input and for giving me a heads up when I’m maybe going too far.”
She added: “Thank you for forgiving me. Next time I will be more thoughtful about other people’s feelings and not just my own.”
