A family have paid tribute to an 18-year-old from Somerset whose death from a rare form of epilepsy on September 13 has left them devastated. SomersetLive reports that Alisha Louise Hooper, from Somerton, was diagnosed with the illness in 2017 that "only developed during sleeping".
Her mother Sophie Edwards, who along with Alisha's dad Paul and brother Toby, 22, are left behind following her death, said: "The four of us did everything together. Her brother had recently finished his degree, and it was great to be all back together again.
"We truly treasure all the days out, weekends away and the amazing family trips we took, enabling us to make the most precious memories. I cannot express how much we loved our time together."
