Tributes have been paid to a critical care nurse at Sunderland Royal Hospital who had a "big smile and kind heart" after her tragic death.
Honey Latonero, an ICCU nurse, spent 20 years working for the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust becoming one of 30 Filipino nurses to mark the milestone last year. As well as her time working on ICCU at Sunderland Royal Hospital, Honey also spent time working on ITU at South Tyneside District Hospital.
Tragically, Honey passed away surrounded by her friends and family in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary earlier this month leaving loved ones devastated. In a touching tribute issued to colleagues from the Trust, Honey was described as a "dear friend to many" and was known for her compassion and willingness to help anyone in need.
