Our Phoenix

Remembering Phoenix today.

Such a joy to have known this lady GN is a sad place without her x

Can't add anything to that. RIP Phoenix

Oh yes the gammon?
Such a sad loss. RIP Phoenix

I think of her often in the morning. Many years ago she started an indelicate thread about bowel problems. From this thread I learned that I have a rectocele and tips to deal with it. Saved me a lot of worry and angst as I realised it was not uncommon and manageable. Thank you Phoenix.

She was very brave, especially at the very end of her life. She and I had kept in touch over the years and she along with myself and others, were thrown off GN for a couple of weeks, entering what we called the Doghouse. I do see the others writing on GN which is great.

She was terminally ill at that time so it was not really "in the spirit" of GNHQ to do that but mentally she rose above it. A nicer kinder person one could not "meet". She had been dealt a few rough deals in life = RIP Rachel.

Good post charley. You said what lots of us think.

RIP Phoenix.
Saxifrage, I do remember the indelicate thread! having had problems myself ?
Her postings brightened up many a day.

Her sense of humour was a constant source of joy. For you Pheonix .

Is it really a year? ?

So many memories of daft, hilarious posts. I remember the two of us ‘sparring’ writing silly poems about plimsolls of all things.

Her spontaneous sense of the ridiculous is sadly missed.

God Bless you, phoenix

Can't believe it's a year. I miss her funny threads

I didn't realise Maw had left GN. Sorry to hear that

Dear Phoenix RIP. I do miss reading about the antics of Oliver Sprout that silly cat. ? She brought so much fun to Gransnet. ?

As long as I have a memory, Phoenix will live in it.

So many happy memories of Phoenix. Her wacky sense of humour was so uplifting, a caring friend and such a beautiful soul.

You have indeed said what many of us are feeling * Charley* thank you and kitty also for starting this thread to remember our dear friend. Maw will be so sad not being allowed to share her own tribute to Rachel.

Rachel ❤️

for the memories Phoenix

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

Lovely memories of Phoenix

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 )

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Phoenix. ❤️
