A British woman in her late 40s who worked as a recruiter for Facebook has died suddenly on holiday in New York. 

Hundreds of messages of condolences have been shared for mother-of-two Tanya Burns (née Reinhold).

Her brother, Dan Reinhold, remembered her as “a truly brilliant wife, the best mummy, the greatest sister and a wonderful daughter. She was also a great colleague to the people of Facebook - a job and a community she adored. It was a job she did with grace and great warmth and humour.

“She leaves an enormous hole in all of our lives as we once again stare into the darkness of grief.”
