Former Preston Lodge High School pupil Ellie Morris died suddenly on December 5 from an epileptic seizure. The 21-year-old was diagnosed with the condition, which affects about 600,000 people across the UK, when she was 13. Her mum, Alyson Birss, has launched an online fundraising page in Ellie’s memory to raise money for Epilepsy Scotland and to increase awareness of the charity, which offers a free confidential helpline. Alyson said: “Ellie was just lovely. She was really pretty, a beautiful girl, clever and just good fun. “She was a really good friend to people and a brilliant big sister. “She was just an amazing girl and a one-off. Her boyfriend said she made everything exciting and she really did.
