Devastated friends have paid tribute to a Scots mum after her death from terminal cancer, following a five year battle with the disease.
Nina Lowe died on Friday, September 23, in St Columba's Hospice in Edinburgh. She was surrounded by close friends and family in her last moments.
The 46-year-old, who leaves behind two young daughters, was diagnosed with the disease in 2017 but told by doctors the cancer was terminal in January of this year.
After deciding to stop chemotherapy due to the unbearable side effects, Nina focused on fundraising to ensure her children Lilia, 15, and Sofia, 10 had stability after her passing. They will now live with their dad in the family home following their mum's tragic death.
Close friend Lisa Kinnear announced Nina's death on Sunday, September 25 on the fundraising page, Edinburgh Live reports.
She wrote: "This is the update I never wanted to write, the most amazing friend and human being Nina Lowe passed away on Friday morning surrounded by friends and family in St Columba's Hospice.
"My heart is broken but was so grateful to share the last few days with Nina, her family and closest friends staying with Nina in the hospice."
Lisa continued: "The staff there looked after Nina and all of us with such compassion and it allowed us to spend precious time together. I can't yet think about how my life will be without Nina but I'm so privileged to have shared so many ups (so many laughs) and downs with this beautiful lady.
"The world is now a sadder place. Thank you so much for all your donations. It really did give Nina a great deal of comfort to know the girls have security going forward."
