‘She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified.

‘I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum.

‘Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum’s and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour.’
