Tributes to 'hero' mum who died just days after cancer diagnosis

The sons of a hugely popular mum have paid an emotional tribute after her death from cancer. Jayne Fallas, 56, died just days after her diagnosis.

The Llandough Primary School teaching assistant was a much-loved figure in her home village, Wenvoe in the Vale of Glamorgan. Heartbroken family and friends have raised more than £12,000 for Cancer Research Wales in her memory with a bike ride across Wales to take place this summer.

"Everyone I've spoken to has said my mum's smile would light up a room," said her son Dimitri. "She was so caring and loving, and she never had a bad word to say about anyone. I'm 28 but I would still call my mum for a chat on my way to work, and when I was having lunch. She was my world."
