BEAUTIFUL tributes have been paid to a hugely popular 24-year-old woman after her sudden death.

- LUCY JOHN

Georgia Taylor from Gwaelod-y-Garth, near Cardiff, passed away in the early hours of August 21 at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff.

Her devastated family - including mum Nicola, dad John and younger brother Joe - described her as being a “magnetic person” who loved life and had a bright future ahead of her.

‘They said she had been pursuing a promising career in London, and friends said she had a “rare gift of putting a smile on everyone's face” and had “energy like no other’

Paying tribute to their daughter, Nicola and John said: “We miss her every second of every minute of every hour of every day. We still can’t imagine life without her.

“Her life has been cut short, we are absolutely devastated that she won't experience the life she deserved. It's just not fair”

‘The family said Georgia had an incredible sense of humour and always had “the loudest laugh in the room’ She held her family and friends in the highest regard, which was evidenced by more than 900 people attending her funeral on September 25.

Nicola said: “Georgia was always so happy. She had a completely infectious laugh and she lit up a room.

“Like all her friends said in her eulogy, whether you met her for 24 years or 24 minutes, every single person adored her.

“Everybody in their speeches said she would be their go-to person who would calm situations down and talk to them about anything.

“She loved life and she loved to party with her friends. She always had loads and loads of friends, she was like a magnet.

“Everyone has said that she was the glue that kept all the groups together. She was always the one to organise plans. She was just the lushest person, she really was.”
