'She loved her family, she recently became a nan as I have a five-month-old daughter, she was excited to spend more time with her.
'She was such a good person, so kind-hearted and so loving.
'She is going to be so missed, and I wished she knew how much, I only had my mum, I didn't have a dad.'

She said: 'I'm struggling to make ends meat, I'm on maternity leave.
'It will help with the payment of the funeral, we're hoping to get it in place.

'Life hasn't gone the way we have expected, anything donated will go towards giving her the best send-off we can and saying goodbye in the best way she deserves.'
So far £800 of the £3,000 target has been raised.
She said: "I am so appreciative, I didn't expect it to hit off at all, it is such hard times with the cost-of-living crisis, it has been helpful.'
