Popular mum-of-four Holly Dakin had just graduated from Nottingham Trent University. A selfless individual who had others at the forefront of her mind, she spent time working for Framework, the homelessness charity, and went on to study health and social care at university.
She was described by her parents as a woman who wanted to help people who were struggling to find their way in life. And, owing to her university degree, she aspired to work with young people.
But with her new-found career and life with her beloved young children ahead of her, her family were left devastated when Holly was found dead at her home in Wilford on April 30.
