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.

Thank you so much MrsK.

Oh shockers, that is really moving. The florist weeping over funeral flowers. That is a lovely thought (if you see what I mean)

Littlegreyauditor · 08/09/2017 10:01

I, because I am shockingly lacking in observation right now, have just noticed this. What awful news about a genuinely funny, lovely lady, whose posts were always entertaining. I'm so sorry for her family's troubles.
This is such a kind thing to do, OP.

HappyHippyChick · 08/09/2017 10:08

Please add me as well, I loved reading CTK's posts, she was such a funny lady. I'm so sad for her family and friends Sad. Thanks for organising this MrsK.

I would like you to add my name too please if I'm not too late. I don't think a day has gone by over the past few weeks when I haven't had a little 'oh' moment at the thought of CTK and wondered how her little girl is doing. This is a lovely thing to organise - thank you Flowers

MrsKoala · 08/09/2017 10:17

It's a bit of a rollercoaster for us all I think. I laugh at things she did then i feel sad, then fucking furious.

The florist laughed when i told her what YANBU stood for and why we had chose it. Then i laughed, then i veered seemlessly into crying and snot bubbles. Blush I'm sure she is used to it tho. It's such a symbolic thing, it really feels like a farewell.

Hello - a namechange back to an old name for me, because this is the one I'd like to go on the card :)

I'd love to be added if that's ok MrsKoala.

RIP Keith. I've been thinking about you a lot these past couple of weeks. It's hard to believe something like this can happen so easily. Life is fragile and precious.

So sad for Keith's DD and DH.

Thank you so much for doing this MrsKoala xxx

MrsK - it just seems so unreal, and unfair , so why shouldn't you cry . You are doing such a wonderful thing , and taking the time and effort when I know your life is so full on Flowers
