    I don't post here much anymore, but do pop in to read now & then, and had the great pleasure of meeting Taxi & one her lovely DDs. Both marvellous women with so much courage, humour and optimism.

    So sad to hear this news and would like to be able to send a card if you would please pm me an address.

    Thank you

    She is one amazing lady, a few years ago when I was on holiday in Blackpool with DD, we'd put on thread we were going up and we arranged to meet for coffee, as her grandson JJ was bit younger than my DD, we spent most of the week with them both,met some of the family, and this lady took us under her wing like one of her own family.

    My heart and soul goes out to her and her family, all I wish is a pain free time xxxx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Can I have the address as well, please, Elantan? Thanks.

    I was hoping that Taxi's silence wasn't indicative of bad news. This sucks, big time.

    Thanks elantan for sharing the news. I'm so sad to hear that as Taxi was such an important part of my DFW journey, a lovely warm presence on these boards. I am thinking of her and sending lots of love and good vibes through the ether.

    Hi all,
