A mum died four months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Kim Cooper, 34, from Netherton, was diagnosed with migraines after going to the doctors, but after returning she was told she had a stage four glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumour.
Her sister, Jodie, said her diagnosis "ripped the heart out of the family", especially as her son was just months old.

She told The ECHO: "After being diagnosed with migraines for a short time she was then in February of this year diagnosed with an untreatable stage four glioblastoma brain tumour. [This] obviously ripped the heart out of the family with an eight month old child named Louis, after Louis Diaz."
Kim, who was a youth advisor in Netherton Park Neighbourhood Centre, bravely fought while being cared for at home by family and friends until June 2023, when she died. Her family have described Kim as a "massive red" and said she had a season ticket for Liverpool FC.
Jodie said: "Kim was a youth advisor at work in Netherton Park Neighbourhood Centre, which she loved. She enjoyed taking the kids from there to a place in Skipton and to numerous other places.
"Kim was also a DJ who was based in Eden Vale Pub in Netherton. [She did] parties for friends and family. Kim went to a lot of away matches, domestic and European and she would sing all red songs in fan zones before and after games – no matter the result."
Her family are now asking Liverpool and Everton fans to clap on the 34th minute of the Merseyside Derby on Saturday, October 12.
Jodie said: "She was a massive red and half her family and friends are blues. Everton supporters are showing their own banner for Kim to show how much she was loved by all.
"There are two banners in The Kop that will be taken to the bottom in 34th minute."
Kim leaves behind her baby boy, Louis, wife Caroline, mum Netty, dad Bernie, sisters Kayte Jodie and Kellie and her niece's and nephew.
