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.

I didn't 'know' Phoenix, I wish I had, but I found this thread and am in awe of the way she touched so many lives and the way she played her cards. I shall certainly dance to Pata Pata and think of that brave and beautiful spirit dancing towards her next adventure. My sincere condolences to her family and friendsflowers.

I joined Gransnet very early on and don't recall a time when there was no Phoenix She had some very tough times but her sense of fun and the eye for the ridiculous always shone through.

I was proud to be a member of the Dog House and then to be part of Team Phoenix where she kept us entertained in her usual way.

I will miss her.

I don't come here very often now, but I couldn't pass by without saying 'goodbye and safe journey' to Pheonix

The heartbreaking news that Phoenix had passed away early this morning was difficult to accept.

When Phoenix was deciding whether or not to post that she was terminally ill, her first question to us was, are there many on GN now who will know who I am? When the love and kind thoughts started arriving, they were received with such heartfelt gratitude as she read every one and latterly, read to her by Hollie.

It was a privelage to be her friend. ?

Phoenix. What a legacy she has left for you all. Peace for her and her closest family and friends.

Squiffy Wed 18-Aug-21 12:08:28

What an impact phoenix made! There are so many of us on here who never met her in Real Life, but to whom she has left her legacy of humour and sense of the ridiculous no matter what life throws at you. She truly was a phoenix.
