A mother who "lived for her boys" tragically passed away while on holiday in Egypt.

Liz Boardman, a mum-of-four, died unexpectedly in the early hours of Monday, November 11. Liz, who had recently celebrated her 40th birthday in August, was known for her humour and kindness.

Her body was flown back home on Friday, November 15, with her family awaiting the cause of death. Her friend Michelle Lowe who worked alongside Liz - originally from Bolton - has set up a GoFundMe page to assist with funeral expenses and "to help the boys as much as possible at this extremely sad and difficult time."

Paying tribute to Liz, Michelle, 38, from Anfield told the ECHO: "Liz was one of the funniest of people I had ever met in my life. She was a great storyteller. Liz was just a really fun person and she did live for them boys."

"It's been shock, I don't think it has hit me and it won't until I see her. Liz was very kind and was as a support worker through work. The service users all loved her."
