Friends and family of a young mum who took her own life have said they are "completely broken" following her death.

Tragedy struck again for the family at the heart of a devastating crash which killed four people in Headcorn last year.

Just 10 months following the tragic crash the family has been rocked by the death of "beautiful and kind hearted" Pemmalina Lee, who died over the weekend.

The 21-year-old was the partner of Paddy Cash, who was son and brother to fatal crash victims Johnny, 44, and Johnboy, 19, who both lost their lives in the collision in October.

Miles "Smiler" Cash, 25, and Jacko Cosgrove, 18, from Ashford, also died in the crash.

Now, her family and friends have paid tribute to the young mum, who was described as having a "precious aura" about her.

Speaking to KentOnline her family, including father Jimbob and mother Murtle, said: "Pemmalina was a young, bubbly and outgoing girl, full of life.

"She was the light of her two sisters' lives, Shannon and Avangeline, and her brother Rico’s world.

"She loved and adored her baby and thought he was solid gold. Pemmalina and her husband were madly and deeply in love.

"They loved going on holiday and spending time with her baby and she was the best friend any one could ask for.

"She was always a phone call away and there was nothing to big or small for her to do for you.

"Pemmalina was so beautiful in every way and so kind hearted. Everyone who knows her is completely broken. Life will never ever be the same without her she had a aura that was so precious and her smile and eyes would make you feel safe. She is a friend that will never be replaced."
