"So many people have been in touch remarking on her powerful ability to turn around people's lives for the better."
They continued: "She was so proud of her two young boys who are left to remember their loving, kind, smart, nurturing, beautiful mama.
"She was in an amazing room filled with sunflowers, cushions, candles and an abundance of love when she passed away, surrounded by her close friends and family."
Ms Ahmad has been described as 'one of the most gifted journalists of her generation.'
