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.

Thank you Mawbe for the photos and the Curse of the Gammon. Phoenix was so witty.
What is Pata Pata someone please?

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.

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.

“Cursing the Gammon” by Phoenix will remain in everyone’s minds and on Gransnet as testimony to the witty lady she was.
Thank you Maw for your post this morning.
Caring thoughts to all her friends - especially Hollie who was such help and a comfort to her - and her family today.
I’ll be playing ? Pata Pata ? around 10.30 am today, dancing and singing (it’s such a catchy tune) as we all say “Farewell Phoenix* ?

Thank you MawBe, "Cursing the Gammon" has made me laugh out loud.
I didn't 'know' Phoenix, I really wish I had, but I have saved the Pata Pata clip and later this morning I shall be dancing and thinking of a brave and beautiful soul dancing towards her next adventure. My sincere condolences to you and all Rachel's family and friends. X

Thinking of you today. A strong woman who will be much missed.

Marydoll Mon 06-Sept-21 07:18:23

Goodbye, dear friend. I was privileged to share your journey, the highs, the lows, the laughter and of course the curses!
You are greatly missed.

NotAGran55 Mon 06-Sept-21 07:18:00

Don’t forget to put on your dancing shoes and jig around to Pata Pata this morning.

It’s what she wanted .

Hello Ladies (and others wink,).

I just love the idea of you all dancing to Pata Pata with my bearers!

kittylester Mon 06-Sept-21 07:03:01

Thank you Maw and what else could you post but 'Cursing The Gammon'.

I will miss Phoenix!

My thoughts are with Phoenix and her loved ones today.
A toast to a witty brave and funny woman who will be missed.
