    Hi all, maybe those that wished to send a wee thinking of you card may wish to send a sympathy one now ? Totally everyone's choice though, you do what's right for you.

    Like many of you here I've had a bit of a wee cry today, I remember a strong supportive woman that helped so many, her honesty blew me away, like many I will miss her, I will miss her vibrant and often sharp realistic look on life. Her support along with many others on here saw me through many a bad time, I will always be grateful to her and others on here.

    My thoughts are with Taxi's family.

    She was never less than strong for me and so supportive. I never met her in the flesh but feel I've lost a dear and much loved friend.

    I haven't been a regular on MSE for such a long time but heard this via Facebook and wanted to add my deep sadness at the news and condolences to all Taxi's family and friends. She was always a huge support and inspiration to me - always so positive and encouraging with a huge heart. I always came back to her threads. RIP Taxi - you will be missed so much.
  • Taxi and Hypno for me as well Lucielle.

    So very sad to hear this news. Taxi was very helpful and supportive to myself and the twins a few years back, and I saw how good she was at helping and supporting others.

    My thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time xx

    Thank you for all the "bahookie booting" and straight talking - you talked me out of debt and into a much better life.

    I wish you all that you would wish yourself and more.
