Our Phoenix

May I ask?
Would those to whom Phoenix was special (and have posted to that effect) think this is a good idea, or would it be too impersonal and 'open' for their personal comfort?

Goodness! A year already. A lovely lady, loved and missed by so many. RIP Phoenix/Rachel

I don’t post very often but I had to add my contribution to this thread. I think I must have joined just before Phoenix left. I remember so well reading one of her posts about her husband and being in absolute stitches! At a difficult time in my life that was such a tonic. I looked out for more of her posts and was disappointed when there were none. I was angry to hear what happened to her on GN and sad to learn that she had died. I wish I’d been on here earlier to read more of her witty posts.

I think Maw is posting, possibly under an assumed name.
I rememberPhoenix with affection.

No I don’t think so sadly.

RIP Phoenix, sadly missed by so many.

Sorry, should have quoted farview

she had a pure, natural joy.

What a lovely comment Baggs!

Something so lacking these days.

Ah now I know what the other thread was all about.

She was funny, she was brave, she is missed.

Yes, you only had to read the thread title to know!

RIP, Phoenix.

She was such fun.

A very brave lady.

Loved Phoenix's sense of humour, especially her thread about cooking the dreaded huge Christmas gammon! She was very talented with words and her posts had me laughing out loud many times. She is so very sadly missed

It doesn`t feel like a year, does it? Like Doodle says, a Phoenix post title was instantly recognisable as one of hers. R.I.P.

Phoenix. ❤️

Thank you kittylester for starting this thread, & it's good to know that Maw is in touch with friends of dear Phoenix.

Maw isn't posting on gn under an assumed name.

Perhaps she'll come back after she has had a break?

Phoenix was great fun

Maw - we need posters like maw. Full of positive support for people, huge heart and a different take on lots of things. Come back maw x

Maw isn't posting on gn under an assumed name.

Thank you for starting this thread, kittylester.

It's hard to believe it's a year since phoenix left us.

I can't cook gammon without thinking of her curse, have to try to get the last bit of ointment out of a tube by swinging it round in circles and I remember all her very funny threads, posts and spells.

phoenix - you were a joy, it was a privilege to have 'known' you.

I remember trying to dance wildly to pata pata on that sad day with tears streaming down my face for an inspirational woman I had never met but who had made me smile many times. RIP Phoenix.

Phoenix was a delight and a one off
I didn’t know Maw wasn’t posting , another one off

GN is a sadder place without Phoenix. We always knew when a funny thread name appeared that Phoenix would be the instigator. Such wonderful humour. I miss her too a lovely person. Phoenix

I too hadn’t realised Maw wasn’t posting (Hope she still is somehow as we need people like her on GN )

Lovely memories of Phoenix
