Moving tributes have been paid to a hugely popular grandmother following her sudden death aged 57. Melissa Morgans was well known in her home village Cwmaman for her kindness and the trust she inspired in people.
Melissa, who died on Wednesday of causes not yet confirmed, spent seven years as a support worker but her whole life was defined by generous and caring interactions with others, said her only daughter Yasmine. "Strangers would come up to her in the street and tell her their life story," Yasmine told WalesOnline. "I think a lot of people felt they could talk to her and not be judged. She would do anything for anybody."
Although Yasmine, 37, was aware of her mother's popularity she was taken aback by the response when she posted the news of her death in an Aberdare Facebook group. Hundreds of people posted reactions and comments paying tribute to the "special" and "always smiling" Melissa.
