Mum Nadia Joseph-Gosine had been in Trinidad with her 10-year-old son Emari for a few weeks before she was due to marry her fiancé, Devon Gosine.

The night before she passed, Devon and Nadia stayed up late talking to their friends and accepting well wishes for their big day.

Nadia had struggled to fall sleep, but Devon had attributed it to anxiety about the big day.

After she fell asleep, he tried to rouse her with a kiss on the cheek - which normally wakes Nadia up - but she was unresponsive.

Paramedics spent 45 minutes trying to revive the young mum.

She died suddenly of liver disease at 33, with her family unaware she was sick.

Nadia's death has rocked her community of Beckton and devastated sister Isha Daley, 37, who remembers Nadia as "a mini rebel" who was "very lively and feisty".

Isha recalled: "She was a very entertaining person. She just wanted to be happy.

"A little fire cracker. She was very beautiful. Absolutely stunning. And she loved life, loved to travel."

Nadia's fiancé is shattered at the loss of his future wife, calling her the most loving person he'd ever met.

Devon fought back tears on the phone while remembering his late bride-to-be.

He said: "She would go all out for you and she was the most hard-working. She was always happy.

"Whatever she was going through she was always happy. She was the love of my life. She was always the best part of my life."

Devon said he can't help but be reminded of Nadia in everything he sees, and said he's in disbelief.

He added: "We were preparing for the rest of our life and all of a sudden it gets taken away. It was the toughest thing."

"It just happened all of a sudden," said Devon. "At least she didn’t have to suffer," he said.

Nadia's young son Emari is being looked after by Devon, but Isha plans to look after her nephew once he returns to London.

Isha said she doesn't think Emari has processed his mum's sudden death, as everyone keeps him distracted.

The family is trying to raise money for Emari to travel back to London, which will cost about £900.

They also need money to have Nadia cremated in Trinidad before she can be taken home - a process which costs around £1500.

Isha said her sister had cancelled her life insurance just three months before her death and didn't have travel insurance.

Isha told MyLondon that she is still in "hopeful denial" and it won't be until Nadia is back home that she will fully come to terms with her loss.
