‘She was the best of us – I have never met a more generous and loving person. She loved life and never complained. Ever.

Mia added: “She was a nurse for 27 years, a wonderful sister to Steffi, Prudence and me, a devoted mother to Jason, who died in Iraq, Bridget and grandson Kylor – the lights of her life.

‘She passed away unexpectedly yesterday morning. Apparently in her sleep. This is a difficult time for all of us who admire and love her so deeply,” she concluded in her Thursday post.
