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.

My best memory of phoenix is the curse she wrote for the Idiot. A fair few people felt it resonated.

Marydoll you have brought tears to my eyes. I only ‘knew’ Phoenix through Gransnet but I always so enjoyed reading her posts. I thought she had a little longer to talk to us. Thank you for the update Marydoll, thank you so much for keeping us informed.

Not a regular poster but wanted to send my thoughts and prayers at this sad and difficult time.

Thank you for this Marydoll. Since joining Gransnet, Phoenix's posts have brought me much pleasure, and quite frequent merriment. I wish for her, peace and comfort.

GN is a poorer place without the anticipation of a Phoenix thread popping up. Always able to see the quirky, funny side of life and always so articulate in describing the events that tickled her.

Thank you Marydoll for keeping GN informed, and also Thank you to Phoenix friend for passing on the sad news.
Phoenix and her family are in my prayers.

Thank you for this update Marydoll. Wishing peace and freedom from pain for Phoenix, she has cheered us up so many times, so sad it should come to this xx

I am very sad to read this, Marydoll. Pheonix sounded so upbeat in her last post that it seemed as though she would somehow get better. My thoughts are also with her.

So many reasons I will miss seeing posts from our dear friend. Whenever rooting through the active thread, there it would be, unmistakably a post from Phoenix, written in her own inimitable style whether posing a question or just sharing her thoughts on any particular.

NanTheWiser Tue 17-Aug-21 10:19:13

My thanks also, Marydoll, and my thoughts are with Phoenix too. May she have peace and love surrounding her always.

I'm not a regular poster but thank you Marydoll for keeping us informed about Phoenix. I always looked forward to her posts. I am keeping her and her family in my thoughts and prayers at this unbearably sad time. flowers

Is it trivial or silly of me to be feeling sad for Minnie and Oliver Sprout at this time too?
They will know something is wrong - but have no understanding.
I understand Phoenix is sleeping most of the time and just hope her little cats are curled up nearby.

Thank you Marydoll, your kindness is much appreciated.

Thank you Marydoll.

Phoenix and her family and little Minnie and Oliver Sprout are in my thoughts.

Although I don’t know Phonenix , I too offer my wishes and thoughts at this sad time.

Love to Phoenix and her to family and friends.

Thank you for updating us, Marydoll.

How very sad to think that vibrant, witty Phoenix is now so unwell.
My thoughts are with her and her family.

Squiffy Tue 17-Aug-21 11:31:54

Such a sad time for Mrphoenix and the family, including the cats, whose antics were so beautifully and vividly described by phoenix.

Thank you marydoll, its a sad task you've taken on.

It was so good of Phoenix to think of Gransnetters at this very difficult time.
I hope that she is comfortable and peaceful.
