Some of you may have missed the thread started by our cherished friend, Phoenix, informing Gransnetters of her illness and the reason for her recent absence from GN. It has been suggested that a new thread is started, directing her friends to the original thread, where she let us know of her terminal diagnosis.

Sadly, Phoenix is no longer able to read your messages or PMs, but has said how she, her family and close friends have found comfort in the love and support, you have shown her.

This thread will try and keep you all updated, with news provided by a Gransnetter, who is in daily in contact with the family.

A heartbreaking time for us all.

To a very brave lady?

Marydoll Wed 18-Aug-21 19:41:14

.....and Phoenix thought no-one would remember her!

She will be looking down on us and be highly amused at having generated, what is now a seven page thread! ?

A unique lady with a wonderful flair for language, an enveloping sense of humour and a captivating take on life. Thank you for sharing an image of her and providing the link to hear her voice. She was taken far too young and is sorely missed.

Very sad to hear that Phoenix has gone but glad she was peacefully with those who loved her best. I listened to the radio link earlier, what a woman she was, I wish I’d known her in real life. I hope her family and friends find some comfort in knowing how just how much she was loved and appreciated by so many. May they mourn her as well in death, as they loved her in life. ❤️

Today the world is a poorer place,

In time I am sure her family and friends will find a little comfort realising just how cherished Phoenix was.

Thanks so much to Marydoll & MawBe for keeping us all in touch.

Sad times flowers

Oh my goodness, that interview. ??? What a trooper. How extraordinary to go through what Phoenix was going through and yet sound so…normal, as though nothing at all was wrong. I knew she’d lost her son, I didn’t realise she had no other children.

Has anyone contacted You & Yours to let them know? I’m pretty sure she’ll have left a mighty impression on them. ❤️
