Ah, fair enough.

There are certainly some posts of hers on these threads that her children will treasure in years to come.

:(

I thought so too. I am going to contact the Woolly Hugs organizers. Thank-you so much for suggesting it.

SugarPlumpFairy3 · 28/11/2014 19:18

I'm shocked and so terribly sad by this news, it just isn't fair :(.

I can't imagine how her lovely family are feeling but my deepest sympathies and my heart go out to them.

Stuffofawesome · 28/11/2014 19:19

So sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with her family. RIP

ajandjjmum · 28/11/2014 19:24

Tears for you and yours biscuits - so so sad to see this news. What a special lady. Sad

Thanks Kundry for letting us know.

Bartlebee · 28/11/2014 19:27

I'm terribly sad to read this.

I opened her thread every now and then hoping to see an update from her.

Thinking of her and her family.

mummylin2495 · 28/11/2014 19:29

Deepest sympathies to Biscuits family. I am so sorry to hear this news after following her story.

barefootcook · 28/11/2014 19:31

Thanks for telling us Kundry. Such a sad, sad story. RIP Biscuits.

Phoenixfrights · 28/11/2014 19:31

Oh no. So very sad for her, and for her family.

Applefallingfromthetree2 · 28/11/2014 19:32

Such a brave, intelligent and inspiring woman. Someone I never met but who was on my mind often.

I am so sorry to hear this news

Goldmandra · 28/11/2014 19:37

I will never forget you, biscuits, especially the posts you made late on the night before you left for this transplant. It must have been so hard to walk away knowing you may not come back.

I was going to start a new thread for you this evening if no-one else had. There's no point now. So sad that your journey is over and we can support you no longer Sad

Much love to everyone you've left behind in the biscuit tin xxx

CorporateRockWhore · 28/11/2014 19:42

Oh. Biscuits, your family...this is so awful. I am devastated for all of you, your little ones deserved their wonderful Mummy.

Meandthecat · 28/11/2014 19:44

I am so sorry, I check each day for any news of you.
RIP biscuit and strength to your family to carry on without you x

meerschweinchen · 28/11/2014 19:48

Oh no. I'm so sorry. I didn't even know her but this has made me cry. She sounded so lovely in her posts. And her poor children and dh. Just heartbreaking Sad

Mintyy · 28/11/2014 19:53

Utterly devastating news. I am so upset for everyone who knew and loved Biscuits.

She really was a quite extraordinary woman and the cruelty of her diagnosis and what she had to put up with in her life after that is just unimaginable.

If Biscuits' dh and children ever read this, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You must be truly proud of your courageous wife and mummy XX

upto11 · 28/11/2014 20:06

Such terrible and sad news. Thinking of Biscuits' family at this time - I am so sorry for your loss. Biscuits was an amazing woman.

DrHamster · 28/11/2014 20:07

So sad to read this, I checked every few days for an update, hoping Biscuits was going to pull through.

I signed up to delete cancer and sent my cheek swabs off a couple of months ago from reading this thread.

So sad tonight.

ArsenicSoup · 28/11/2014 20:12

The fierce love for her children poured from her posts. I do hope they see them.

NewEraNewMindset · 28/11/2014 20:17

Oh god I'm so sorry to hear this Sad. Totally devastating. Much love to Biscuit's family xx

AriaBanjo · 28/11/2014 20:23

I am so, so sad to hear this terrible news Hmm.

Mumsfret · 28/11/2014 20:23

I thought it might be an idea to start a condolence thread for biscuits before this one reaches capacity (at 1000 messages). She had so many supporters, followers and admirers. Her family may draw comfort from this.

I've never done this before so hope it works. Follow the link below to: -

A thread in memory of biscuits and bandages

Kundry · 28/11/2014 20:27

Thank-you Mumsfret.

FarelyKnuts · 28/11/2014 20:28

Oh no. I am so saddened to hear this. What a terrible shock.

I hope Mr B and the crumbs have an idea of how much love and care was here and sent to her daily from us all.

Goodbye Biscuits xx

themightyfandango · 28/11/2014 20:33
