Fiona Masters described her teenage daughter, who had a three-year-old daughter, as a "devoted mother".

She also referred to her son Dean who died aged 17 in a car crash in 2005.

Vicky's remains were discovered by children playing in woods off Queensway last month and police are still investigating the death of the 19-year-old who lived in Hollington with her daughter Rachel, single dad Tony and younger sister Lauren.

The cause of death is still unknown despite a post mortem taking place.

Her mother today released the following tribute:
"To my beautiful daughter you will always live in our hearts.
A very special, caring, loving, compassionate daughter.
Also a devoted mother and loving sister.
You bought us so much joy and happiness that will always live on in our hearts.
You are now safe in the arms of your loving brother Dean.
Our heartfelt thanks to family and friends for their loving support and we would like to express as a family that we now be given time to grieve."
