Lauren from Drumchapel who used to work with Jeanna in Asda told Clyde News: "Jeanna was just an amazing person. I don't ever remember seeing her without a smile on her face.

"She was just the bubbliest person you could ever meet. If I ever had a problem in work I knew I could go to her and she would help.

"I worked with her on the check-outs in Asda, I worked there for five years. Everybody there absolutely loved and respected her. Everybody is just shocked, no one knows what's going on. It's hitting everyone very hard.

"My heart goes out to her three boys, I know how much they adored their mum, I can't imagine what they're going through."
