“To the world she was like sunshine on a rainy day. She was the life and soul of our hearts.

“The sun won't shine so bright anymore without her in the world. She was an amazing daughter, sister, auntie and granddaughter.

“To the girl that always put others first, you'll be missed eternally but your memory will always live on. We love you always and forever, your family.”

The family have asked for their privacy to be respected at this current time.
