A Dubliner who was tragically killed in a Texas car crash last week has been remembered as a "beam of light" and "life of the party" by family and friends.
Melisa Mapa died while driving home from work last Wednesday in Euless, Fort Worth, Texas after her car was hit by another vehicle that was fleeing the police.
The 27-year-old was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to Dublin as a child where she attended primary and secondary school.
