Good Morning Tuesday

Hello Emily

Another lurker here who very much enjoyed your mother's postings.

I was immensely saddened to read her post telling us of her recent hospital visit and the awful news she received there.

Her goodbye message was so sad but it came as a huge shock to read that she had passed away - no time even for a hospice.

Her love for you shone through her posts and I am sure that you can gauge from the reactions here how well respected she was and how terribly sad all her virtual friends are today.

I'm not a poster either but a reader! Condolences Emily and Thank you.

I’m not a regular poster either but i do read the thread so my sincere condolences Emily to you and your family. Thank you for letting us know about your mum. That is so kind

Quite often more a reader than a poster but my sincere condolences to you Emily on the loss of your lovely mother. I read her last poignant post and wondered if I will be as brave when the time comes. She was an entertaining lady with a lovely way with words . She will be missed

I am another who reads but seldom posts. Only reading now as it has been a sad day with my sister in law who has been very ill in hospital dying. She had dementia Emily but your mum was full of life and her posts were so entertaining. I hope the memories you have bring you some comfort.

I never post on here but read it every day. Just wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family Emily on your loss. I loved reading your Mum's posts and have been thinking about her.

More of a reader than a poster on here....but how lovely you're mum was Emily...always made me smile..hope the mutt is okay..take care of yourself Emily...your mum loved you so....?

I would just like to echo everyone above's posts. This is a site full of genuine caring people and your mum was one of them. Sincere condolences to you and your family. It was so good of you to take the time and let us know of her passing - she won't be forgotten.

Sorry, very late to the thread. Just want to send and (((hugs))) to Emily and the Mutt. XX

Dear Emily, Thank you for telling us. Your lovely mum wrote funny, evocative and entertaining posts. Big bosies to you and the mutt. I am going for a walk in my woods and to think of her and you and your family. I shall toast her after supper tonight.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Thank you for sharing Emily, sincere condolences to you & your family. Oldgaijin ?

I am so sad to hear about oldgaijin. Loved her no no-nonsense posts. Thank you Emily for informing us. Such a sad few days on Gransnet. ?

I’m so late today with one thing and another but would like to take this opportunity Emily to offer my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

As Norts said so poignantly up thread

Your mum (and the mutt) will be remembered with great fondness here, by women right across the country, with daffodils in their windows, lighting candles in her memory and raising toasts in her honour

Your mum was one brave lady and we shall all miss her on here. x

Sincere condolences Emily. It seems so soon after her last post.

Thinking of you.

I am late posting today but just want to add my heartfelt condolences to oldgaijin’s daughter and all who loved her.
May her soul rest in peace. ?

I’m not a regular on these threads, either, but I am so sorry to hear about your mum, the lovely OldGaijin. I live in the shire, not so very far away from you and I have some daffodils coming into bloom on my kitchen table in her memory.

Thank you so much for taking the time to contact Gransnetters. My thoughts are with you. Xxx

I rarely post on this thread, but always ‘peek’ in to enjoy everyone’s postings (including your lovely Mum). She was inspirational and very courageous.

My sincere condolences to you Emily, on the very sad loss of your beloved Mum. You can see how highly regarded she was on this thread - the love shines through. RIP dear brave Oldgaijin.

Emily My sincere condolences

Dear Emily, thinking of you at this sad time.your mum will be missed on here.love to you and the mutt.

Emily

Such sad news again today. Thinking of you and your family Emily. I don't regularly post but I remember your mam on here well. Sending my condolence to you all. What a brave lady she has been.

My condolences Emily to you and your family on the death of your mum xx

I'm not a regular poster here either but wanted to say how sorry I am to hear the news about Oldgaijin. I did enjoy reading about her walks in the woods with 'the mutt' Mojo.

My condolences, Emily

Good Morning All x

Sincere condolences to Emily on the loss of your lovely mum. Nobody would ever have known how ill she was because her posts never reflected how she must have really felt at times.

I used to enjoy hearing of her walks in the woods with " the mutt " who must have enjoyed the jaunts more so than she herself latterly and had realised towards the end that she was getting weary but kept on going. May she now rest in peace x .

Thanks Emily for taking the trouble amidst your sadness to let us virtual friends know that Janet has gone.
I will miss her early morning romps with the mutt. She would go out in all weathers. She was a maker of things too wasn't she. In fact a remarkable person.
Sending loving thoughts to you and the family.

Sun is shining and birds are singing here in the Scottish Borders.
