Twitter has been reeling in utter shock today after hearing the sad news of the death of a dear Twitter friend, Lucy Taylor (@littlemunchkin). Lucy's sister tweeted on her account that Lucy had passed away in her sleep on Friday, 30th December 2011.
Lucy had an eating disorder which could cripple her for days but, when you read her upbeat, cheerful tweets, you would never think that was the case. She always brought a smile to her followers and never failed to cheer people up no matter how she was feeling herself. She even found the time to post some amazing recipes for all sorts of things on her blog.
Lucy used to post a Silly Question Of The Day without fail every single weekday. Every single question was different amassing a load of replies. It even had its own hashtag which trended on occasion.
She was friendly to everyone, constantly tweeting to celebrities and often getting replies. In her own way, she became a celebrity herself because of who she was.
A lot of people knew Lucy a lot better than me but, in the short time I did know her, I feel I gained a friend.
Lucy supported the eating disorder charity, B-eat, and helped raise money for them. Please donate in memory of this wonderful young lady.

You'll be sorely missed, Lucy. Keep tweeting up there.
RIP x

That's a lovely tribute Paul. She was amazing and special and yet never realised that.
I will miss her so much and Twitter will have a huge hole now that she has gone.
It also just shows you that we might be avatars and strings of typed text and short messages but we still have the capacity and power to touch people's lives in a profound way. That moves me so mcuh. She most definitely touched a whole lot of lives.
RIP Manch. You were an utter legend.
A fabulous tribute, Paul, to an amazing lady.
She touched so many people and I prayed she would beat the vile disease.
Wherever you are now Lucy, feel the love we all had for you xx
