    Just a thought, I remember before Taxi saying once in her messages that she kept the thread seperate from her life (esp facebook) as she didn't want her family seeing how down she was, - a thought if we all leave condonselence messages and then they get copied over to a notebook and sent to Anne's family, as that way they won't have to go through the thread as such theres good bits but theres also been times where Taxi has wore her heart on her sleeve and in her true style has put everything she feels down.

    A nice notebook of messages - then the family could see how much xhe was valued, how any of lives she touched, whether we met her or not, as my mum said tonight, she never got to meet Taxi, but the times we've spoken about her, she feels at thou she knows her.

    For me I remember a couple of yrs ago when Tess had nicked 4 bars of dark chocolate, we were all having a mad panic on the thread coz of choc not being good for dogs, I remember ringing her and saying she'd caused a panic, and then she went back online to reassure everyone Tess was ok.

    Every thread she touched, she left an imprint on, all positive, all strong and typical Taxi, she would rally around for anyone,

    I dont know what anyone else thinks xxx

    It is a !!!!!! disease Shaun.

    She did get a bit confused at times with names-but as i said you didn't really look like a sheep..well maybe if you didn't shave for a bit:p:beer: And i don't look like Kate/Bob:D I don't quite know how to describe an Elantan though;) But like Rutger Haur....:rotfl:

    Personally I am just thankful for knowing her in whatever capacity. Beautiful souls don't hide their presence.:A

    elantan - I'm glad I'm not the only one who is bubbling away - it is just when something pops into your head and that starts me off.......

    When we were at her house, she was taking us back to the caravan site, and got out of the house, thought thats odd they've taken the car seat out - i'd only gone and sat in the neighbours car......

    One of those days - the kids were in the back and JJ found some money - was stuck down behind the seatbelt holder - he was so impressed, that for the next few days we saw them as soon as JJ and my DD got in the car - they were looking for money, think it was a one off.... xx
