Bradford house fire: Tributes to mum and children killed in fire

The family said Ms Gawith, also known as B, had been the “life and soul of the party”.

The statement also said: “Music was a big part of her life, she loved music, singing and dancing, she would always be singing and dancing with Chuch, Oggy and Strawberry [her three children].

“B was always a really happy, joyful, bubbly beautiful woman, who cared for everyone and was loved by everyone, her kids were everything to her, her whole life.

“Oggy had the cheekiest smile, he was cheeky but he was a shy boy, Strawbs was shy and bashful with big blue eyes and blonde hair and Chuch was a beautiful, confident, outgoing and creative young girl.”

The family said they were still trying to comprehend what had happened to their “beautiful family”.

“No words can describe how we are feeling and no words could ever make up for the profound loss we are now faced with.”

They also asked for privacy so they can try and come to terms with the “unimaginable sadness and grief of this tragic loss”.

The statement added: “We are overwhelmed and grateful for all the support and kind words we are receiving…also for the thoughts and support for the father of our three babies.

“Please allow him peace to grieve and come to terms with the loss of his family.”
