Good morning All. This is Emily, daughter of oldgaijin, or more affectionately known, Janet.
Mum passed away yesterday evening in Aberdeen after a very quick deterioration last week. I’m afraid she never made it the hospice. She had been courageously battling cancer for the last 4 years and her determination and courage and bravery were always accompanied with a positive, sunny attitude, laughs and a wicked sense of humour.
I know this forum meant a lot to her, being a single lady on her own. It gave her great joy and she talked about it often to me. I can see so many messages of support and for this I thank you. Your messages were received.
Mojo, the mutt, and I thank you all. No sadness, just celebration. That was her only stipulation....there must be champagne.
Best wishes, Emily.
