The heartbroken family of a 'beautiful' mum-of-five who died suddenly said she "made an impact on everyone she met".
Claire Bevan, 31, died suddenly, on February 2, leaving behind her loving partner, Rob Jones, 34, and their five young children.
The care worker, who lived in Widnes, was described as someone who "put everyone before herself" and went above and beyond to care for her family.
Claire's devastated brother-in-law, Gavin Nevitt, said: "I've known her since I was 15 and she was like my best friend and my sister.
"It's just so overwhelming to be honest."
Gavin said Claire looked out for everyone she met and as well as caring for others in her job, was a devoted mum at home.
Claire, who had no health problems prior to her death, sadly died on February 2.
A post mortem examination is yet to be carried out to determine the mum's cause of death.
Gavin said he has been 'overwhelmed' with the amount of tributes paid to Claire, which have been flooding in on social media.
He told the ECHO: "We didn't even know even how popular she was. Rob doesn't have Facebook, but everyone has been messaging me.
"It's just overwhelming. In a way we're not surprised how many messages we've had, she was that type of person.
"She had an impact on everyone she met."
Following her tragic death a gofundme page was launched in a bid to try and support Claire's partner and their children - six-year-old twins, eight-year-old son, 10-year-old daughter and 11-year-old daughter.
Rebekah Pill, who created the gofundme page, wrote: "She was the most selfless person and the most caring.
"Nothing was ever too much for her, she put everyone before herself and wouldn't ever expect anything back.
"She was a diamond with everyone's children like a second mum to all.
"She has sadly left behind a devoted loving partner Robert and their five amazing young children.
"This will be for [them] to help them along the way and to prove to Claire just how important she is to everyone.
"She was also a massive part of our Halton Borough Wolves family, who her little boy plays for.
"She loved watching him play and wouldn't miss a game hungover or not.
"We all know she will be dancing in the sky with her beautiful mum watching over everyone.
"Rest in paradise an angel taken back far too soon."
Since the page was launched, nearly 200 people have left donations and almost £4,000 of the £5,000 target has been raised.
