Eleanor was my Service Desk Manager at Leeds Beckett University and I had the privilege of working with her for over a year. There was noone quite like her. She brought a bright and unique perspective to all of us who worked with her.

I have know about this loss for a week or so now and still cannot quite believe it. The family don't know me but I thought they'd appreciate knowing the difference she made at work.

I remember encouraging her once with the phrase "So shines a good deed on a weary world" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This will always be a moment that I remember her by.

It is with a heavy heart that I heard about this and my prayers are with Tom and the family.

I was very honoured when Gill & Terry asked me to be Eleanor's godmother. I saw a lot of her in her early years and was christened Auntie BeBe. I remember she really didn't like going out for walks, complaing about achy legs, at one point. Over the years we did rather lose contact but I heard about how well she was doing in her career. To say I was stunnd to hear the news of her death is an understanunderstatem
