A 'brilliant' mum-of-three who could 'light up a room' made a pact with friends before she died and they have decided to keep that promise as it is the "closest to heaven" they can get.

Jennifer Roche passed away on January 24 following a 12-month battle with bowel cancer. Her husband David, who she met on a night out in Ormskirk, described the 34-year-old as the kind of person who dedicated their life to "putting a smile on people's faces".

David, 36, said the air hostess had made a pact with her friends and family to climb Snowdon this year. Jennifer told them she had a vision of herself on top of a mountain after all her treatment was over, wearing purple.

He told the ECHO: "Jen was a fantastic person and we had three beautiful children. She was just really bubbly, Jen could walk into a room and light it up that is the best way to describe her.

"She was really fun and a brilliant mum, the girls just loved her. She was an air hostess and loved being out and about, putting a smile on people's faces."

David, from Maghull, who married Jennifer in 2013, said those close to her have decided to keep that promise as it is the "closest to heaven" they can get. He said that "everyone will miss" Jennifer who dedicated her life to making people smile.

He said: "Jen had this vision of herself after the treatment had finished so we decided to do it for her. It is the closest to heaven we can get.

"Jen spent ten days in Woodlands before she died and the place needs £4,000 a day to stay open."
