A FAMILY of a "beloved" mum-of-nine who died "peacefully but unexpectedly" in her Dublin home have issued an urgent plea.
Nicole McNeill died suddenly on July 14, leaving behind her "adored children", her partner, father, family and friends.
The Lucan woman, who was laid to rest at Palmerstown Cemetery, was remembered for her 'heart of gold'.
Her family has now issued a "heartfelt request" to the local community following her sudden passing.

A fundraiser has been set up on GoFundMe to help Nicole's family face unexpected costs, especially as the back to school time approaches.
They said: 'Her passing has left her family in shock and facing unexpected expenses.
'With the new school year approaching in September, there are added costs for clothing and getting the little ones ready for this big transition – all of which have come as a sudden and stressful burden.
'One of her children is just four months old, making this an especially challenging time for the family.'
