Dad knows daughter is 'still around' him as he pays loving tribute

A heartbroken family have paid a touching tribute to a much-loved woman who could "light up a room just by walking in".

Kelly Heybourne, from Southport, who worked as a carer in the community, had been living with diabetes since she was 15. The condition meant her kidneys began to fail and as she got older, was receiving almost constant dialysis for months.

Devastatingly, the 38-year-old died when complications arose and she suffered a bleed on the brain. This week marks four years since her passing, with her dad, Mike Heybourne, paying a loving tribute to his daughter.
