General Chat

A year ago I was getting ready to make my yearly trip back to the UK in May, when I received a mail from Wend to tell me she would not be able to make it.
Her letter broke my heart, I couldn´t phone her because she couldn´t speak, so all we could do was type to each other, and I discovered after even that was a strain for her.
But she asked me not tell everybody how ill she was. Thankfully she didn´t make me promise. We collected money at that meet to send Wend flowers and goodies all of which was received with so much joy. By then even typing was an ordeal for her.

On the 17th of June 2016 our beautiful, happy, party girl said her farewells and slipped away in the arms of death where pain would no longer trouble her,
She left behind many memories for those of us who would miss her.

On the 17th of June 2017 I will be back in the UK in Sheffield to hold another meet, and this one is in her memory. Back at the place she loved to go. Wend left us some money for the meet so that we could have a drink on her and we will. I know not everybody will be able to make Sheffield but I hope that we can all raise a glass in her memory on that day. As the meet is at 12 o´clock and we have to allow for late comers. I would like to suggest that at 2pm on the 17th of June 2017 we all stop what we are doing and take a minute to remember. Our Wend.

Missed by many :-(

I will not be able to attend the meet but I will be holding up my glass to remember her from here. A truly missed wonderful lady <3

Island she touched so many lives with love and happiness. Her letter to me said that she would welcome the release that death would bring but she was afraid that so many people would be upset by it and she didn´t know how to put that right.

<3 <3 Wend <3 <3 will miss her call on your meets as
You all shouted and giggled in the background :-D <3

Uzzi, Wend was one of the few people that felt like an old friend within minutes of meeting her. Most such people have been taken from my life one way or another.
I sometimes wonder why there are so many uptight and bored people in the world - none of us have long so reach out and rejoice I say.

Live it like Wend <3

<3 Wend <3

Missed but not forgotten.

Lagooner thank you.

Mersey, we need to put that right if you PM me (or Stray) your number we will phone you at 2pm and giggle down the phone to you :.)

Mr Magoo, You do know that you and Mrs Magoo are going to find your way to Sheffield ? It´s quite easy as it´s a big F*ck off town in the middle of the UK ..well according to my map :-)

Island, I felt the same with Wend re the friend bit. But I no longer wonder too hard as to why morons are alive and good people die. ...I will not tell the conclusion as it would spark a row that GR haven´t seen for many a year ...:-)

Wendy's Kaffir lilies are growing in my garden, they haven't flowered yet but this year they might. :-)

Nyx .. this year they will, :-)

Such a beautiful person, such a help to me when our soninlaw was so ill and then died, and even just before she died she was showing concern in a PM that daughter was OK, so selfless, so much missed by both people who met her and people like me who didn't.

Uzzi mind is a blank, what time will that be where I will be? :-)

Ann you will be in Spain looking after my tribe, so I can be in Sheffield :-)

Lovely Wend very much missed <3

Uzzi yes I realise that but what time will it be in Spain on 17th June when it is 2pm in UK?

Cocktail time I reckon :-D

Ann it will be 3pm here. just about the right time to crack a bottle on the solarium :-)

What a lovely gesture Uzzi <3 <3 <3 <3

Uzzi Mmm sounds good.

Will do thanks Uzzi...

It wouldn't be the same without the clinks of glasses and whoop whoops
and plenty of laughter from you all :-D :-D <3 <3

I'll let you into a secret Mersey........ ;-)
