Carmen Bousada, the woman who in 2006 became the world's oldest mum at 66, died last week from cancer, leaving her toddlers orphaned.
Carmen, 69, will never see twin sons Pau and Christian’s third birthday, even though she had vowed to live to 101.
Single-mum Carmen conceived the twins through IVF with donated eggs, telling doctors she was 55.
Her death has again sparked debate about older women having IVF, with many doctors slamming the choice as selfish.
