TOBI Mills may have lost her fight for life but she died knowing that her beloved children will be well cared for.

The 43-year-old single mum died peacefully at home in Haldane Road, Blackbird Leys, on Tuesday night, with her ten-year-old twins, Ashton and Lauren, beside her.

Yesterday, as tributes poured in for the courageous mum who fought breast cancer, then secondary cancer of the liver, the twins were packing their bags to move in with their new mum.

Although the identity of the new family is being kept secret, the twins will stay in Oxford. Before her death, Tobi had the chance to get to know the new family.

She said: "Their new mum holds similar values to my own and I can die happy, knowing they are in her care."

Tobi's funeral will be held at 2.30pm on Wednesday, July 1, at the Church of the Holy Family in Blackbird Leys, followed by interment at St Giles Church, Horspath.
