A mother-of-three young boys who was planning her wedding day died after waking up from a nap 'sweating', as friends pay tribute to the 'amazing' nursing student.
Ashleigh De-Andrade, 31, from Southport, started feeling unwell after spending a weekend away at Haven Hafan y Môr Holiday Park in North Wales with her three sons and fiancé Jordan Nimmo.
Her friend Lauren Guest, 25, said that after arriving home on Sunday, April 23 she went for a lie down but woke up just a few hours later sweating and with a temperature.
She was taken to the hospital where she suffered several seizures but died on April 26. It is believed she had a bleed on the brain and meningitis.
'It was all really quick and sudden so it makes it even more devastating,' Ms Guest told the Liverpool Echo.
Her devastated friends have paid tribute to the 'most beautiful person inside and out'.
Ms Guest said: 'Ashleigh was an amazing mummy to three beautiful boys aged 3, 10 & 12 with her husband to be Jordan and as you can imagine there whole lives have been ripped apart.
'I can't even begin to put into words just how amazing Ashleigh was she was just the most beautiful person inside and out with the biggest most purest heart and was amazing at everything she did including being a nurse.'
The mother-of-three was in her second year at Edge Hill University where she was studying to become a mental health nurse.
Ms Guest added: 'She was so excited to be a nurse and was absolutely smashing her degree with such a bright future ahead of her and her beautiful little family.
'These plans have been taken away far too soon and she will forever hold a special place so many people hearts.'
Friends have launched a GoFundMe page to support Ashleigh's fiancé and three children, with £3,315 being raised so far.
