Family members have paid tribute to Tanya, who recently moved to Weobley in Herefordshire working as a coordinator for a Bupa care home in Leominster.

Friend Carrie Smith has set up a Just Giving page for the girls which has already raised almost £5,000. Visit crowd funding.justgiving.com/carrie-smith

She said: "I am setting this page up to raise as much as possible so that when the girls have fully recovered from there injuries they can have a few days away with family to help take there minds off losing there mum, and also put some funds into a trust fund account for them for when they are older.

She said the girls were were still being treated in Birmingham for "severe but not life threatening injuries".
