Tributes have been paid to young Teesside mum Laura Hodgson who has lost her fight for life.
Laura, from Billingham , was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer last year.
The mum of two beautiful children died peacefully on Sunday with her "family by her side".
A Go Fund Me page set up to raise money for Laura&apos;s treatment raised almost £40,000 from hundreds of well-wishers.
Her family has praised the "overwhelming generosity" of everyone who donated to support Laura and said they planned to donate to the chemotherapy day unit at the University Hospital of North Tees and The Willow Trust.
Laura, who fought the aggressive disease until the end, was described as an "absolute warrior" by her family.
Her sister Michaela posted on social media: "It is with a heavy heart I am writing this.
"I would like to thank every person that donated, shared and supported our fight to support Laura.
"An angel grew its wings Sunday night after Laura had an infection which her body could not recover from.
"Laura died peacefully with her family by her side.
"Please respect this time for Laura&apos;s close family."
She continued: "With the overwhelming generosity of everyone who donated, as a family we would like to donate to the chemotherapy day unit at North Tees hospital and the Willow trust.
"Laura made a monthly donation to Cancer Research UK and I know would greatly appreciate some of the donations going towards finding a cure.
"We would like to use some of the money for a memorial to celebrate Laura&apos;s life.
"This is something her children, family and friends can treasure.
"If anyone has any objections to this, please request a refund through the gofundme website. Many Thanks, Michaela & Family."
Tributes have poured in for the keen sportswoman, including Laura&apos;s "netball family" who have said she will "never be forgotten".
South Durham and Cleveland Netball posted: "Deepest sympathies to all who knew her.
"Could we all please place a black heart and pink heart on our status to show our love and support to both the family and Harriers netball team, which Laura was a much loved member of."
