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 am deeply comforted by the fact that Phoenix and those around her drew support and care from their Marie Curie nurses.
It was 33 years ago that my cousin, aged just 18, was tasked with caring for my Aunt at home and our family are so grateful for all that they did - and, indeed, continue to do for others.

Maw yes I did put Rachel’s name.
I was just saying because people wanted to go through the undertaker and it probably isn’t necessary.

26 August 19.17 - finger slipped ?

When you donate to Marie Curie it asks for a name of a person you wish to dedicate it to.

See my post of 20 August - Rachel Hudson

I couldn't find anything like that for Phoenix.

In NI some funeral directors have a tribute page where you can donate to the charity of the persons choice and add a tribute.

I am happy to contribute to Marie Curie. RIP Phoenix x

Okay M0nica. Will do.

I do not think undertakers accept donations to pass onto charity now. I have a vague memory that some new financial regulation stopped that some years ago.

I know that I have been asked to send the money directly to the charity with a name attached when donating in recent years.

NfkDumpling Thu 26-Aug-21 22:19:38

Thanks

MawBe Thu 26-Aug-21 22:07:02

I’m afraid I don’t know but will ask.

NfkDumpling Thu 26-Aug-21 21:59:15

Marie Curie it is then. Are you allowed to tell us the undertaker?

MawBe Thu 26-Aug-21 21:39:31

Just a quick add on, Mr P has expressed a preference for Marie Curie as they were the “angels”, who came out to night -sit those last nights

Thank you for posting this.

Curlywhirly Thu 26-Aug-21 19:27:02

Thank you Maw for that. ?

Thank you Maw

Details of Phoenix’s funeral.
If anybody wishes to make a donation in her memory, Cats Protection League or Cancer charities - Macmillan or Marie Curie.

I will try to find out the name of the undertakers if you want to send it c/o or alternatively straight to the charity.
If you want to mention her name along with the donation, it is Rachel Hudson

My heartfelt condolences to Pheonix' family and friends. As someone said further up thread. Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory, Pheonix.

Shocked and deeply saddened to read this yesterday.
Phoenix was such a lovely person who brightened the day when she posted.
Condolences to Mr P, family and friends.

Rest in peace, wonderful brave lady.
