This is the British woman who has died of rabies after contracting the fatal disease in a scratch from a stray puppy in Morocco several months ago.
Grandmother Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, became ill two weeks ago and steadily deteriorated until her death this week.
Her daughter, Robyn Thomson, 32, a neo-natal nurse, paid tribute to her mother - known as 'Bon' - in a moving post, and urged others to treat even the tiniest scratch with caution.
Rabies - which is passed on through injuries such as bites and scratches from an infected animal - is nearly always fatal. It typically takes between 3 and 12 weeks for symptoms to show but can also take longer in some cases.
Ms Thomson wrote on Facebook: 'Our family is still processing this unimaginable loss, but we are choosing to speak up in the hope of preventing this from happening to others.
