It's disgusting how people are coming out of their cage to bring you down now you're gone! I know you did bad things, who hasn't, but you do not deserve this at all. Gone too soon Paige. This town is horrible."

Another, Anna Gray, said: "Paige was a good mate of mine and she went out of her way on more than one occasion for me. Have some respect for her family and her little boy who has to grow up without his mum. RIP Paige thank you for all the good memories xxx."
