I posted this a few minutes ago under Chat but it hasn’t appeared on Active Conversations so I am copying it here so that it doesn’t disappear
If anybody wants to make a donation in her memory, Cats Protection League or Cancer charities were dear to her heart - MacMillan or Marie Curie.
If you wish a name for reference when contacting the charity, it is Rachel Hudson.

I didn’t ‘know’ Phoenix much - she was a very witty poster by all accounts. I do recall her starting some extremely amusing threads a couple of years back now I come to think about it and when other witty people joined in the thread became hilarious. It’s sad to know she has died and I’m sure many on here who became virtual friends (and perhaps some met her in RL too?) will miss her warmth and vitality.

I loved that ‘gammon’ piece Maw thank you for sharing it! I will also play ‘Pata Pata’ later - I don’t know if I’ve heard it or not and I shall look out for R4 archive to hear Phoenix being interviewed.

My sincere condolences go to her family and friends today.

I have "known" Phoenix for around 10 years and when she was well we emailed each other a lot. I will miss hearing the antics of her beloved cats but thank you MawBe for finding the "curse of the gammon". She was very witty but oh so brave accepting that ghastly diagnosis and trying to make the best of the little life she had left. RIP.

Thank you Mawbe for the photos and the Curse of the Gammon. Phoenix was so witty.

How strange, I was only thinking yesterday that I have not heard about Phoenix’s funeral…. Thank you Maw for sharing the cursing of the gammon,Had heard about it through various threads but never actually got to read it, it is hilarious and have saved it….Sincere condolences to you and all who were close to her on the forum and obviously to her family…?????

I have an appointment in town this morning at 10.50 but if I’m late they’ll have to understand that I was listening and dancing to Pata Pata before leaving home.
