Sometimes we cross paths with people here and they leave us with a strong sense of who they are and the warmth and generosity of spirit they give to the forum and the world around them .
Phoebeb21 was one of them and brought so much good to this small corner of the world .
I was very sad to be contacted by her daughter ellbee22 to tell me of her mum’s passing . I am going to invite her to pay tribute to her mum here as we all held her in such fond regard .
Phoebeb21 was gentle but determined to try for herself and her family . But she encouraged so many along the way who found themselves here .
It was an absolute pleasure to have her here .
Our love and thoughts are with her family as they adjust .
take special care ,

I don’t know this obviously special lady. But sounds such a special person who touched many lives. Forum friends take comfort in the knowledge that sometimes a person touches our lives for a reason and makes a dfference in even the smallest way for a reason on our life path. Hope family can take some comfort from their loved ones legacy . ️
So sorry for your loss @ellbee22. Your mum was a lovely lady and so supportive of everyone else on board. No matter what difficulties she was facing herself she always found time to reassure others and share her experiences with them. She was a very special lady.
Its so lovely that you’re going to join the board and help support others and I hope we can all support you too
Take care

Thank you very much court for such a lovely post.
My mum was a truly special lady in so many ways and it has been a massive loss for us as a family.
She often talked to me about the forums she would use on here and would often say how lovely and supportive people were to her. She really enjoyed speaking and supporting people on here and I am so grateful that she had somewhere like this to chat with others.
My mum was kind, funny, cheeky and a truly amazing mum who I miss every day. She fought well and never once cried, always making sure that we were okay before herself. She loved her family endlessly and all she wanted was as much time with us as she possibly could.
Thank you for creating this post and allowing me to say thank you to those who may have chatted to her and supported her here on this forum.
I love you mum, and always will.
Hi Still Game , thank you so much for your kind words. She really was a special woman and I am very appreciative of the forum for giving her so much support.
Hi Kareno62 thank you so much for the kind words about my mum. It is so great for me to know that people found support in her and that she was able to support others even when she was going through everything herself. She was always trying to make sure that we were okay before herself.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to this post, it is really lovely for me to hear from people that may have talked to my mum on here.
Thank you and take care too x
Hi ellbee22
Im so sorry for your loss, you mum was a truly lovely lady and you must be devastated.

Im sure that you mum would be so proud of you listening to others here and sharing the way you coped
