Sad news of MoneySavingDiva

Options
I am very sorry to have to tell you that I've had a reply to a PM I sent Diva some time ago. It was from her partner Ian, and he said that MSD died in hospital on 29th January. She was recovering from an operation.

I do hope he won't mind my posting a thread about it, but I'm not on Facebook and he asked me to let people know.

Ian has pm'd N9eav as well, because his was the first post on the Daily thread that day, but I see that he hasn't posted this weekend so probably hasn't seen the pm.

I know that all of us who "knew" Diva were very fond of her and were hoping she would be well enough to come back to us at some point.

    Oh how so very sad. I always really looked forward to Money Saving Diva's purple and sparkly posts. She was always so inclusive and friendly. Today is truly a gloomy sunday. Condolences to her family and friends xx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Rest in peace Moneysaving Diva.
    Man plans and God laughs...
    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    She was a special lady, who always took the time to mention and support everybody in the daily thread.
    She has been missed, and will be missed.
