What sad news. My condolences to all who loved her. I, too, have had such kindness from dearest Soop over the years. We never met but she’s still a kind friend who I shall dearly miss as we kept in touch until a few weeks ago. Her lovely paintings of my late dogs and cat will have a more poignant meaning now. Rest in Peace lovely lady, your darling Mr Soop is going to be bereft. I’m so, so sorry.😞

Thank you, Soop, for being you x

Late for me to log into the kitchen but so sorry to hear about our dear Soop - sending condolences to all her family and to Baggs too.
This kitchen will be Soops legacy, and long may it continue as a place of warmth, comfort, solace and friendship for any who wish to enter as was Soops intention, I’m sure.
RIP Soop you will be very much missed. xx 💐

I to have only just seen the news from Baggs.
I am remembering dear Soop's generous spirit and her great kindness. It seems such a short time ago that Soop was painting portraits of dogs and cats for grans.
My kindest thoughts are with Mr Soop and all the family and friends who loved Soop.
Rest in peace Soop. You are loved and missed. flowers

Haven’t posted in the kitchen for a long time now but could not ignore the sad news about soop whose kindness was so evident to all around her. She generously offered to paint my favourite “grand dog” at a time when I had a lot family worries. It meant a lot. Condolences to all who loved her, especially her dear man.

Thank you Baggs an awful time for you too. She is now at rest, but my heart goes out to Mr Soop.

I loved the online discussions we had about cats, which we both loved.

It was not unexpected but she is now at rest.

I’m so very sorry to hear about Soop. She was such a lovely and enduring presence on Gransnet for so long. Her tales of the cats, and the glorious sunset photos. My heart goes out to McS, and to her lovely family.
