JASMINE Dizon Pickett, 29, lived with her husband David in Colden Common.

He said: "Jasmine was a well loved and respected school teacher from Leyte in the Philippines. Sadly, she died three days after giving birth to our first son Christopher.

"Jasmine was a kind and loving wife with a radiant smile and warm friendly nature. I have always been very proud of her, not a single day went by without me saying a silent prayer of thanks for having her in my life.

"She left behind her career and family behind when she came to England and married in February 2007.

"Jasmine has been the kind of wife and partner that most men could only dream of. She was greatly looking forward to raising Christopher and all that motherhood brings. Sadly she did not get this opportunity."
