Hi All, been putting this thread off as I haven't been able to face the reality and finality of it. Anyway, here it is.

I am going to get YANBU in flowers (possibly bright yellow - any other colour suggestions are welcome?) and take them along to the funeral of CTK. It would be lovely if there was lots of MN names to add to the chorus.

If you would like me to add your username then please post on this thread. (Some people have already pm'd me so they are already there - but can post below too of course if they wish). If you want to add a little message i am also happy to add that as well.

I shall take photos of the flowers and post them after the funeral. Cheers lovelies.

Me too please, she was great, and now so sadly missed.

PitilessYank · 03/09/2017 01:14

Me, too, please, and thanks for doing it.

Ive missed this really sad piece of news. Thank you for doing such a lovely thing Mrs K. Please add my name (LDG)if it helps. Flowers

I'd like to be included also, although not if my username is considered to be inappropriate under the circumstances...

Great list of names. The more the merrier. I shall probably type up all the names then attach it into the largest card i can find/make (i may do a moonpig one of this image).

Just to add again any monetary contributions for the flowers please forward to the just giving page set up by SBJ. While i appreciate it, i'd much much rather every penny went to them.

Please add me, I always lurked on her threads, so was such a lovely woman.

abbsisspartacus · 03/09/2017 08:55

Yes please

Such a sad loss

Lynnm63 · 03/09/2017 09:29

The photo is perfect MrsK please add my name too. It seems unreal she was complaining of earache and a few days later she's gone. I thought at first her fb had been hacked. The only silver lining is a lot of money will be raised for research in her name.
I hope MNHQ will send flowers and maybe make a donation as posters like CTK helped to make MN the success it became.
CTK was lovely, I always enjoyed her posts. I came across the auction eggs on an open tab on my phone the other day. It made me laugh and cry. She added me as a fb friend after I PM'd her. I'd have loved her in RL too as her humour and general goodheartedness came through her posts on there.
I barely knew her but she made me feel I was a friend how her close friends and family are coping idk.

LongtimeLurkerNowPokemonHunter · 03/09/2017 10:14

Me too please. I loved her threads and posting style.

Catzpyjamas · 03/09/2017 10:17

Couldn't @MNHQ provide you with a list of all who posted on here to save you going through the whole thread?

herethereandeverywhere · 03/09/2017 10:33

Please add me. I loved reading her threads/posts, she was so funny and honest, such a breath of fresh air and have others have said, a key part of making MN what it is.

I have simultaneously laughed and cried at the thought of 'YANBU' in yellow flowers with a big cartoon card; a bright, bold, funny tribute to someone who was just that.

What a loss, RIP CTK.

marriednotdead · 03/09/2017 10:51

Please squeeze my name on the card MrsK. Hope you can take up the offer of a resident florist upthread too, such kindness here.

Thank you for taking such a painful hit for the team to pay tribute to a lovely friend- I want to give you a big hug. Hopefully see you at the next meetup Star

We're so close to the target! That's really lovely to see Smile

SleightOfMind · 03/09/2017 12:09

Please add me too. Doesn't seem real.

echt · 03/09/2017 12:12

I would feel honoured to be included on the list of MNers.

Please add me too. Flowers

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 03/09/2017 12:30

I'm mostly a lurker these days, so had missed the sad news. I am so sorry to hear CTK has died. Thank you to all those arranging donations and flowers. So very unfair. I have lost loved ones to Meningitis too. It's such a shockingly sudden way to go. Love to all her friends and family.

If there's still time I would like to be added (feel free to change to FYChrisandthathorse if the name is too offensive for the day) 💐

QOD · 03/09/2017 14:06

FuckYouChris didn't realise how much I'd missed you til I saw your name
