Tributes have flooded in for a mum-of-four who died suddenly.
Rebecca Elizabeth Lanson was at home in Litherland when she suffered a seizure on the landing in the early hours of April 6. The 27-year-old's dad Keith, 56, said one of Rebecca's daughter had to make a heartbreaking call to her auntie Lauren to come over.
He told the ECHO: "She got up in the middle of the night and didn't feel well. One of her little girls actually phoned my daughter. She told her 'mum had a seizure and won't wake up'."

Lauren, 32, phoned an ambulance and rushed over to Rebecca's home, where she found her unconscious. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Rebecca was pronounced dead at home. Her body was taken to Whiston Hospital where a post mortem examination will be carried out to establish the cause of death.
Since publishing Rebecca's story, dozens of tributes have poured in for the mum-of-four. Writing on the ECHO's Facebook page Michelle Murphy said: "This is so sad, I cant believe how young she was.. It's so unfair. It breaks my heart for her poor girls and the rest of their family. Rebecca is the sister of my son's mate, my heart goes out to him at this difficult time. RIP Rebecca."
Edel Canning Harkin added: "May she rest in peace, God love the poor children, condolences to all her family and friends."
Vicky France also said: "How utterly heartbreaking for her family and her girls. My heart goes out to them."
Liz New said: "Thinking of your lovely kids and family. Rest in perfect peace Rebecca. I hope you got the comfiest bed in heaven."
Lauren said Rebecca had her first seizure around two years ago but hadn't had one since then until the day she died. A Gofundme page has been set up to raise money for her funeral to "give her the send off she deserves."
Paying tribute, Keith described Rebecca, who was a mum to Lacey, 10, Lilly, seven, Layla, six, and Libby, five, as someone who "lived for her kids."
He said: "She wasn't one for clubbing or going out drinking, it was just about her and her four girls."
Keith said the family want Rebecca to be remembered for the "fantastic" mum and "bubbly, outgoing person she was."
He added: "We're just numb and devastated. Lauren was at Becca's every day. Lauren and Rebecca were really close. Me and her mum want her ashes put in Anfield [Cemetery] where my mum and dad are."
