A PREGNANT mum has died just days after her boyfriend suddenly passed away while on holiday in Tenerife.
Tributes have been paid after Dale Hannon died on September 9 while Chloe Higgins died at home last Friday, just eight days later.
Chloe, a 26-year-old mother of two, who was six months pregnant at the time of her death, is survived by her parents Martin and Michelle, daughters Tia and Charley, sisters Leona and Megan, grandparents Richie and Ann, Johnny and Geraldine, uncles and aunts.

Paying tribute to Dale, a Limerick Facebook page said: “Dale was a very happy out kinda guy with a massive circle of friends from all over Limerick, you will be truly missed by everyone.”
Another said: “May god give Dale the best bed in heaven, one of a kind, I will never forget you, thinking of his family at this sad time.”
Hyde Rangers FC and the Limerick District League both offered their condolences and said: “Deepest condolences to the Hannon Family on the sad passing of Dale. May he rest in peace.”
Dale was to be laid to rest today in Mount St Oliver cemetery following a funeral Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Church while his partner Chloe will be buried on Friday in Mount St Lawrence old cemetery following a funeral Mass at St. Saviour’s Dominican Church.
