Tributes are pouring in for a woman who tragically died on a holiday to Prague, with her boyfriend calling her the "most beautiful and sweetest girl".
Daire Ni Heidhin, from Dundalk in Ireland, is understood to have been rushed to hospital after becoming unwell and passed away last Saturday in the Czech capital.
The boyfriend of Daire, a 29-year-old early years childcare practitioner at Little Partners Creche, said it felt like a dream which he can't escape from, reported the Irish Mirror.
He wrote online: "I can’t believe I’m even writing this I just feel like I am stuck in a dream and I can’t get out of it.
"Babe you have made me the happiest man that I never knew I thought was possible for someone to feel. There was not one moment in the time we had that I never felt like the luckiest and most loved person in the world from the very first time we laid eyes on each other.
"I love you so much and I will forever babe."
A best friend said: "The sister I never had, my partner in crime and my bridesmaid to be. I will love you forever and always Daire."
Daire was a talented soccer player and a popular member of Dundalk Young Ireland’s ladies’ team.
The club posted: "My hands are shaking and the tears are rolling down my face as I tell you about the sudden passing of one of our princesses.
"Early this morning our friend and comrade Daire was taken from us and given her angel wings.
"We are all devastated for her and her family and friends. Life can be so cruel. Far too young to leave us.
"You will be sadly missed by all your team mates at the DYI where you were much loved and adored.
"You can see by the pictures how close these girls are. FAMILY.
"May your family have the strength to get over these few days and send you on your way to heaven. Fly high kid."
The club also encouraged fans of Dundalk to help out the family by making a donation to a GoFundMe campaign.
