Tribute to ‘lovely’ and ‘cheerful’ carer killed in Highland crash

She said: “This is devastating news for the family concerned.
“The person involved was well-known to the whole community. Her family have always lived here and are well respected.
“She was always cheerful and happy to speak to people. She was lovely, she really was.
