The grieving relatives of a MUM who was discovered dead on the sofa next to her three-year-old daughter are remembering her as “one in a million.”
The school contacted Nicole Barnes’ partner Craig Galloway last week after Nicole Barnes, 29, failed to pick up her other three little children.
Nicole’s cousin Kim Jowett, 36, said she is being remembered as an “absolutely amazing mum”.
Kim told the Liverpool ECHO: “She picked up Delilah at 11.30am from nursery and was expected to pick her other children up later.
“She just passed away on the couch. She was an absolutely gorgeous young girl. She didn’t have a bad bone in her body.
“She was an absolutely amazing mum and she did everything with such grace. She was a better mum than I ever could be.
“She had loads of issues with getting her five-year-old into help and into school because of his autism but she didn’t stop.
Kim said everyone was devastated by what happened, adding: “She was such a gorgeous soul. No one in the world could ever say a bad word about her.
“One of her friends, Gemma, tried to do CPR. The medics did everything they could.
“This is going to be so hard for Craig. It is so sad she has lost her life and left her four poor babies behind. She was one in million.
“She left such an amazing impression on everyone’s hearts and her children will never forget that.
