Strangely , i was just thinking of Fengirl the other day...i hadnt noticed her on the boards in ages.
Always gave good solid advice.
She will be sadly missed.The loopy one has gone :j0 -
Thankyou for all your thoughts , Mother will be cremated in Cambridge on the 19th . She wants a humanist service , and I have the honour of officiating, as the eldest child.
She really was a generous person , and raised A LOT of money for charity . She also saved a lot for the charities she worked for.
Some more background on her life , which was a bit sad , and caused her much heartbreak...
She was only 60 at her passing,and was 18 when I was born, my brother was born a year later ,then my Dad met someone else secretly(neither woman knew of the other) and kicked her out of the car at a tube station, after driving down from Doncaster and told her she would never see her kids again, and she did not until I was 21 and left home. I can only imagine the hell she went through , being intimidated every time she tried to make contact.
She went on to become a tax inspector for the Inland revenue , and then worked giving out lottery funding , before becoming a consultant to charities seeking funding.0 -

Poor Fengirl . At least you and she were reunited again , thats the main thing.The loopy one has gone :j0 -
