    I don't know how to set up a candle page for Toots so I've lit one of Diva's

    What a lovely idea x
    Such sad news - I can't quite believe it :(

    Toots - you were a wonderful, thoughtful, caring lady and I feel privileged to have known you. I will treasure everything. Peace be with you xx

    I remember washing plastic tops with her ready to send to you :D

    Hey all,

    I figured there would be a whole load of posts here about our lovely Toots, and I too am gonna miss her...

    When something like this happens on the thread, no one wants to carry on posting and appear insensitive, so I have stopped by to brandish fluffy mules at all of you! :p

    As a tribute to Toots herself, I ask, on her behalf that you carry on Flying and for one last week you can have a star for each day you complete..

    SO true :D

  • So sad to hear the news about our wonderful Toots. I haven't seen anyone yet being able to keep up the way she did with the thread. She never missed anyone in her posts ever. I still don't know how she done it. Always had great advice and pushed us on esp with the stars. RIP our lovely, wonderful, kindhearted friend. You will be dearly missed <3

    This week has been so busy so far. Loads of charity stuff going on, trying to organise tree's, sky-dive. Don't think I thought through this sky-dive thing. Me who's afraid of heights throwing myself out of a plane. :eek:

    Tomorrow i'm away to collect tree's, still have loads to find by the weekend. Fingers crossed I find a very nice garden centre who wants to donate. :rotfl:

    Flying wise it has been the basics but I know that can't go on much longer so Thursday on i'm really going to get the lists done.

    Right bed for me, night all x

    Ah yes AnWs - we still advise those in need to take up the patented dot-to-dot method - you get a mention everytime...

    Oh wow....:o

    Toots did get up close and personal with Concorde :D we have fond memories of that trip.

    I am overwhelmed by the messages for toots this evening and will pass on the love to her family when I speak to them next, you guys are the best and I am proud to say that I am a flylady (even a lapsed one with a house of CHAOS :o)

    Well AnW's - they always did say this thread's the Hotel California - you can check out and all that.

    And, like Diva, Toots will be fondly remembered, and talked about, in this thread as long as it continues to run.

    Thank you - I didn't know you'd helped!

    I remember her cryptic posts about having another 'package' ready for me!

    Toots will always be remembered :A along with Diva :A

    Aww, it's very sad to hear the news of Toots, RIP. but, does anyone feel such a lovely warm vibe from the thread tonight? Old and new flyladies alike sharing messages on such a source of inspiration. Surely the true legacy is not just the Toots list, or stars, or the flying itself, but the togetherness, support and understanding between anyone who contributes to or even lurks on the thread.

    Much kudos to you all, for being part of it.

    God bless Toots and her family and friends. x
