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.

To Phoenix ?? - Shine on dear friend, it has been an honour.

Well, I shed a tear or two thinking about Phoenix and listening to the magnificent Miriam Makeba sing Pata Pata.

Miriam Makeba died in 2008.

I hope the spirit of these two indomitable women are Pata Pata-ing together, somewhere beautiful. ???

I got my Alexa to play it and shed a few tears ?????

Charleygirl5 Mon 06-Sept-21 10:37:56

I have asked Alexa to play Pata Pata and she is doing it with gusto. I am not able to jig around but the spirit is willing if the flesh is weak.

Phoenix has enriched many lives with her wit and humour.

Thank you MawBe.

I had been thinking about Phoenix this morning and will be having a little jig and remembering her at 10.20.

It's a very sad day but also will be filled with the memories of all those who loved her. She will also be remembered forever on Gransnet for her quirky take on life and, of course, for Cursing the Gammon; thank you for posting it again.

Phoenix. Remembering her wit, warmth and empathy. Such a loss to her family and friends and those on Gransnet who had the good fortune to know her. My thoughts are with you.

Thank you Phoenix for all the laughs over the past 8 years, even when life was tough for you. You have brightened my day so many times and I really miss your hilarious posts. You have left such a legacy to Gransnetters and your bravery and resilience is an inspiration to so many of us. I will be joining the Pata Pata tribute and send my sincere condolences to all your family and friends who are very much in my thoughts today. flowers

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.

Shinamae Mon 06-Sept-21 09:36:41

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…?????
