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.

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. ❤️

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.

.....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! ?

Redhead56 Wed 18-Aug-21 19:32:51

To a very brave lady?

Farewell dear Phoenix. Thank you for all the laughter and your wonderful humour that you have shared with us.
My sincere condolences to MrP and all Phoenix’s friends and family and all those on GN who were closest to her.

Maw and Marydoll thank you so much for letting us know how things were and for keeping in touch. Dear Phoenix RIP ?

RIP ? Pheonix ?

I just remembered Fawkes the phoenix flying off into the Sunset at the end of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It seemed such a fitting image.

bikergran Wed 18-Aug-21 18:30:46

I have just listened to the radio clip "you and yours" it takes a strong person to be so positive like Phoenix, it makes you feel such a whimp when we moan about trivial things.

Such a sad time for her family and friends and also her little pets who will wonder where she has gone.

Sleep peacefully .

Bridie22 Wed 18-Aug-21 18:14:05
