The daughter of a much-loved mum and grandma has spoken of her devastation after she died just days after being given a terminal diagnosis.

Earlier this month Diane Burdaky, 58, from Whitefield , was given the devastating news that she had just months to live due to a lung condition, caused by an autoimmune disease.

However, mum-of-three Diane, who has three grandchildren and was a dedicated charity fundraiser, was at home for just three days before she was rushed back into hospital.

She was able to be transferred to a hospice, however she died just hours after arriving there on Friday, October 17.
