Remembering the wonderful Magic8ballhastheanswers

I would like to start a thread to remember the lovely Magic8 who unexpectedly died this week, leaving behind a husband, a 4 year old daughter and 6 month old twin girls.

I would like to do more, like blankets, but I don"t know if it is my place.

Magic8, good friend, I am so saddened by your passing. I am crying for you, your spiderbabies and the rest of your family.
Rest in peace.

I hadn't crossed paths with magic on the boards but want to add my condolences to her family, and all those posters who knew her

RIP :(

I'm struggling to find words today and that's not usually a problem for me.

Magic, your kindness, support and humour are evident in the posts on here and on FB. Despite a veritable plateful of your own, you were always on hand to help, advise and fish-slap anyone who needed it.

I'm so glad we got to meet, am just so sad we won't again.

I'm thinking tonight of your special DH and your gorgeous girls, and how much they'll be missing you, but how lucky they were to have you.

Hoping you and Ruby are having the most special squeeze of all tonight.

Much love to you, Jolls :( xx

I met magic8 on the ttc after mc thread and she was always so full of positivity and kind words. I remember when she found out she was pregnant with twins, took the whole thing in her stride. She gave life to her three daughters, was an amazing mum and friend to so many. She will never be forgotten.

A tragedy. God bless.

PinkEmily · 17/08/2011 21:29

Oh my goodness I saw the thread title and my heart skipped, what sad news. I used to be on the same boards (sarahlou8) and although I didn't post often, followed for a long time after my little girl was born.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, this is just such sad news.

God bless you xx

Velvetcu · 17/08/2011 21:45

I'm so sad to hear this news :( my thoughts are with her family. I really don't know what to say.

sparklyrainbow · 17/08/2011 22:02

Magic, I too remember when you found out it was spiderbabies, and such lovely news when they were born- my thoughts are with them and the rest of your family and friends. Thank you for your positivity and kind words on the post mc thread, for me and all the others. Such sad news. Rest peacefully x

spiderlight · 17/08/2011 22:09

Heartfelt condolences to her loved ones. So, so sad :(

rushofbloodtothefeet · 17/08/2011 22:18

Such tragic news Sad. My thoughts for her family and all her MN friends Sad

appleblossoms · 17/08/2011 22:21

I wish I had the right words to sum up what you meant to me magic8. Even though we never met, you were always there when it counted with your support and the occasional fish slap. You will be so greatly missed.
Thoughts and prayers for the beautiful twins and dd1 and dh.
The world has lost some of its magic. x x x

AlbaDeTamble · 17/08/2011 22:26

Magic I wish I could find the words to say just the right thing, but suffice to say you will be sorely missed, by your lovely DH and the three beautiful girls you've left behind, and by so many of us. So sad that your girls won't grow up with your wise and witty influence. I hope your memory will be kept alive for them so they know what a wonderful mum they had.

I hope you are indeed enjoying snuggles with Ruby xx

UrbanLolly · 17/08/2011 23:32

magic I only knew you from lurking on the grads thread...i remember so well you talking about the spiderbabies and all the antics they got up to in your belly. My deepest sympathy to your husband and beloved daughters
RIP

clareanna · 18/08/2011 00:13

Thanks for starting the thread ivy

Dear magic We met through the shared sad experience of mc and subsequent joy of pregnancy.I have been privileged to know such a warm wise caring and downright funny woman. You have kept me and many others going through dark days and through the joy of pg and the arrival of the spiderbabies. I am heartbroken for your dh and your wonderful girls any my deepest sympathy is with your family and all who knew you xxx

Redheadgal · 18/08/2011 08:54

I first met Magic on a thread billed as a 'wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet'. I can't think of a more apt description. A truly wonderful lady who will be sorely missed.

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 18/08/2011 09:33

oh magic. It's the start of a new day for us, but it hasn't made any of this any more real.
I can't begin to imagine what your family must be going through - your babies never really knowing their mummy who was taken from them so suddenly, your DD1 having to understand that mummy is gone, your DH having to live without his beloved soulmate.
It puts life's little tragedies into perspective.
We all miss you so much.
Even the sky is crying for you today.

It's so hard to think of anything to say. Magic was funny, clever, brave, warm and so so strong, for herself, for her family, and for anyone who needed help, advice or reassurance. She was so happy with her beautiful girls, it's downright cruel that she has been taken away from them and from her poor dh. A friend who will be sorely missed.

I need your advice now, Magic, you'd know what to say here because I don't.

randomimposter · 18/08/2011 10:11

redheadgal that's just totally spot-on.

PinotsKittens · 18/08/2011 10:57

What a tragedy.

setara · 18/08/2011 11:13

Sad RIP

My thought go out to Magic's family

DogsBestFriend · 18/08/2011 11:17

My thoughts are with Magic's family, may their god go with them, may they find comfort in their memories and may they draw strength from each other.
