Sad news... Mumsnetter Fru Ola has died.

[Elderflower14]

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....

I remember her being a kind and generous poster. Sad news.

Oh no I'm sorry OP

Oh no! She was such a lovely poster.

Thanks for letting us know, Elderflower.

Sad news

She used to say how much she enjoyed the meet ups...

Oh no, her name always stood out to me. How sad. Her poor family.

Rest in peace, Fri

She was very very kind to me several accounts ago WHEN I was deep in the grips of PND

This is so sad.

Oh no, not Fru ! She was so lovely.

I'm not a lunchtime drinker per se but one year on my birthday we had a very boozy lunch which started off at her local and we then made our way to another pub where we sat outside all afternoon. I then had to meet my sister and had to serve my way to the cinema....

Really sorry op x

That's very sad - she always came across as a lovely person on MN.

Oh I'm so sad to read this. I had the pleasure of meeting her once. She was an extremely gracious and graceful woman with a sparkling wit. May she rest in peace.
