Muriel Garner, 79, died of COPD just nine hours before her daughter Suzie, 43, who had cervical cancer. Their joint funeral will take place at York Crematorium tomorrow (Friday, June 14).
Suzie's twin sister Emma Ashcroft led the tributes to the devoted mum and daughter - just weeks following the death of their father Brian, 82, who passed away on April 16.
Emma, who was at Suzie's side 24/7 in the last six months of her life told The Press: "I'm broken hearted. I'm completely changed. I have lost half of me."
