....A Tribute To Margaret (MargaretJ).....

............ 29-06-1940 - 19-11-2015............

Margaret was diagnosed in 2009,

Another member here online.

Six years of battling this disease,

It seems to take whom it may please.

Margaret fought with all her might,

Now sadly lost her internal fight.

She was not one for flowery words,

Would probably think this tribute absurd.

But Margaret was a valued member,

With these words we will remember.

We say goodbye to another friend,

So very brave right to the end.

With courage and strength as you know,

We can hear her say "It's time to go".

As Margaret John takes a bow,

Our thoughts are with her family now.

I was so sad to hear that Margaret had joined so many other dear brave people from here. She was very inspirational to me and I shall miss her wise words.

I knew Margaret wasn't well of late but didn't expect to hear this news. She was a very strong, brave and independent woman and I don't think this disease took any of those things from her. If anything, it highlighted them.

Sending condolences to all her friends and family.

Thank you Gwyn for your tribute. Xxx

Thanks for a lovely tribute, Gwyn. I feel privileged to have known Margaret and met her in London. We shared lots of online conversations and I loved her honesty, her ability to make the most of whatever this horrible disease threw at her, her irreverent humour and her sense of fun. I will miss her, My thoughts go to her family and friends. She was a truly unforgettable woman.

Love Wendy xx
