A 29-year-old NHS nurse who "helped more people than most will in a lifetime" has sadly died of coronavirus.
Rebecca Mack, who was described in devastating tributes as an incredible nurse who made her family proud every day, died on Sunday.
In a heartbreaking tribute, her friend Sarah Bredin-Kemp wrote: "This is really hard. For anyone who doesn't know, we lost our beautiful Rebecca Mack on Sunday to covid-19.
"She was 29 and she was one of my best friends."
She added: "Becca was one of the best friends I've ever had. She was a devoted friend, an incredible nurse and a unapologetically imperfect person."
Sarah went on to describe her a chatterbox who had a joke for every occasion.
"She would never take 'I'm busy, I'm not coming to the pub' as an answer," Sarah continued.
"She was useless at hiding her emotions: she would just describe things she didn't like as as 'interesting' or 'alternative', with an expression of pure loathing."
"But she would be the first in line to tell you off when you were doubting yourself," Sarah wrote.
"She was honest, warm and charismatic. She worked hard and made her family proud every single day.
"She knew her worth and never settled for less, and wouldn't let her friends settle either.
"She was so proud of her work and so happy to have such amazing work friends."
Becca would spend hours on the phone if her friends needed her, Sarah said, and knew how to make people laugh.
"She was fiercely independent and I have no doubt she would have kept achieving. In her 29 years she helped more people than most will in a lifetime."
A tribute shared on Twitter from another one of her best friends, Alice Park, said: "A personal plea for people to continue to stay inside, stay safe and keep in touch with those you love.
"One of my best friends Becca sadly passed away on Sunday.
"She was a wonderful nurse, a wonderful cocktail drinker and a wonderful friend. I will miss her."
One of Becca's cousins Chrissy Mack wrote: "So so nice to see so many people saying such lovely things about my cousin.
"The next NHS doorstep clap will certainly have extra meaning to me, these people are literally heroes.
"Rest In Peace Becca x."
Many family members of patients she treated have been sharing their condolences and saying how well she looked after their relatives.
A tribute by Susan Wilson on Facebook read: "Rest In Peace Becca Mack.
"She looked after Amelia whilst going through treatment and the other children.
"Sadly she lost her battle to COVID-19 at the sweet age of 29.
"Sleep tight beautiful XX."
