I'm so sorry - although our paths never crossed on the Forum, I viewed her posts and enjoyed them. A great lady who will be sadly missed for sure. RIP Rosie.
Sincerest sympathies to you and your family. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to let us know, at this very sad time. RIP Rosie, God speed and Safe journey. xx
Condolances to family and friends. With 1000s of members it says something about Rosie that so many of us know who she is, and not just an unremarkable wallflower, that's for sure!
I hope she went peacefully and that there are horses where she is now. x
RIP Rosie, you are pain free and at peace. I have loved reading your threads and posts and always brought a smile.
May your family find the strength to carry on.
Wishing you all the very best. I am so very sorry that she had to endure this terrible illness. My very best wishes to you all. Will be thinking of you.
Merry Crisis, who was a close friend of Rosie's, and of many years standing, (and now incidentally currently enjoying a lifetime ban, in true Rosie tradition ,) and I have spoken by 'phone. She isn't too sure of the funeral date, but did speak with Arwyn, Rosie's widower, and he's asked that flowers be sent to the house, and I think that Rosie would have liked that.
To that end, I've arranged that Inteflora will deliver flowers tomorrow, I've sent the card from everyone on here, and I hope that you don't mind, too much. I can only imagine what Rosie would say, but as she's now silent, I shall be able to please myself, wont I, and without getting a rocket ?!! I know that you hated a fuss Rosie, but tough!!
Should anyone wish to send their own flowers, and you PM me, I'll let you have her home address.
As a footnote, Charmian (Merry Crisis) is devastated, as are others who've sent me PMs. Charmian and I spent an hour on the 'phone last night, and though we didn't achieve much, we managed a deal of laughter.
Rosie was a strong and a brave girl, and they'd be qualities that she'd want from us.
I'm looking forward to seeing Rosie's standardbred on the track - with her guiding from above the foal has no option but to be a winner I'm just so very sorry that she won't be here to see it
