I had a phone call just now from her partner B. She had been unwell since Christmas and died of cancer in the last couple of weeks.
I never met B but he was working his way through her phone. He has given me permission to post on here.
Fru was very kind to me when ds2 was in a specialist autism unit in London. I posted asking for advice and she replied. She used to meet me at the tube station and walk to the hospital with me. She expecially enjoyed the times Bumbledog came too in his Chelsea football shirt.
She came to Discover Dogs with some other MN ladies to see ds2 show Bdog in Scrufts.
We used to meet for lunch when I was in London and the last time I saw her was about 3 years ago when we went to the Audrey Hepburn exhibition at the Portrait Gallery.
She was a very special lady....

Oh no! We're so sad to hear this. FruOla was a lovely Mumsnetter. Thanks for letting everyone know, Elderflower. Please do pass our condolences on to her family if you're in touch.

flumpybear · 26/04/2019 13:05

That's so sad 😔 was she the one who posted saying she didn't want to see her parents or possibly grandparents before she died as it was only to make them feel
Better and she wasn't wanting to see them ?
I was thinking of her recently

my heart goes out to her and her family 💜

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2019 13:30

No flumpy that was a different, also very lovely, poster.

IcaMorgan · 26/04/2019 13:51

Fru was a lovely person who I met a few times on the Mumsnet meet ups. She will be missed by a lot of people

StealthPolarBear · 26/04/2019 13:58

Oh no, how awful. I met her at a meet up, she was calm and lovely.
