A thread in memory of biscuitsandbandages who tragically lost her battle with leukaemia on Thursday 27th November

[Mumsfret]

Biscuits gathered so many supporters and followers as she went through the trauma of diagnosis and bravely endured attempts at a cure. Her Mumsnet army can post their condolences here. It may serve as a comfort to her family to know how much she was admired and loved.

On Biscuits' last thread, Kundry kindly posted a link to a donation page set up in her memory, for those who wish to respect her request to donate to multiple causes close to her heart, rather than send flowers. Oxfam (training doctors and midwives in the 3rd World), a book reading prize for the school her DSs attend, and Leukemia and Lymphoma research to help banish this disease from future generations. The link is:here

RIP Biscuits

I am so sorry to hear this news. RIP Biscuits. How utterly awful - this disease also claimed little Margot Martini's life.

May they rest in peace....

Rest in peace now Biscuits, and sincere condolences to Mr Biscuits and their children

So, so sorry to hear this news. Goodbye lovely Biscuits. We never met in RL but I was struck by your courage, your guts, and your determination to do everything for your family even when you were feeling grim.
My sincere condolences to Mr Biscuits.
Crumbs, you had a truly wonderful mum and she never stopped telling us how much she loved you. RIP xxx

[Castlemilk]

Oh no. I'm so shocked by this. I followed biscuit's thread. I thought she would make it. Thinking of her and her poor family. RIP biscuits x

[kelda]

So sorry to hear this.

[Mintyy]

lemisscared - I wonder about your use of that word on this thread? Perhaps the Biscuit family will read it one day ...

Could you perhaps ask for your post to be removed or edited?

[saffronwblue]

I am so sad to hear this. I so admired her courage and her fierce love for her family. They are very much in my thoughts.

[Panicmode1]

I am so, so upset by this. I had been willing a happy ending for her. RIP Biscuits, and sending so much love to her family. x

[CorporateRockWhore]

Biscuits, you are your lovely family deserved nothing less than a long and happy life, together.

I am so sad for you all that it can't happen. So sad. You deserved to stay.

[LinesThatICouldntChange]

I am so, so sorry to hear this terrible news. She was so brave and strong.
Her threads resonated with me, because she was diagnosed at the same time as my db, back in April, and I ended up donating stem cells for him within the same week that she had her transplant.
What an amazing woman.
Wishing her family strength and peace.

I had only recently become aware of Biscuits thread detailing her situation and was thinking of her a few days ago.

I am so sorry .

Maybe WoollyHugs could do their magic again for the children?

[ArtisanBaps]

I can't believe it. Another lurker, follower and occasional poster. I can't believe that life can be so unfair. My sincere sympathies to Mr Biscuits and the crumbs.

[bluebump]

So sad to read this, I lurked on her threads. My thoughts go out to her family.

[CiderwithBuda]

Another one who has been willing her on. I have been checking her thread for updates every day. But I didn't expect this.

It was so unfair that she was diagnosed when her DD was so tiny. And her boys so young.

But this outcome is even more unfair. Heartbreaking.

[Rachie1986]

followed her threads from her diagnosis. thinking of her family and friends. what sad news :-(

[Tootyfilou]

I am going to light a candle for biscuits and her family tonight. I am not remotely religious but feel the need to do something tangible.

[ArtyBat]

oh no!
I remember reading her posts and smiling at her words of hope, and how she lived for her babies, and cared about how her husband was managing. She had such strength and dignity.

Rest in peace, and freedom from pain, Biscuits.x.

Sending love and light to daddy and baby biscuits. I'm so sorry.x.

[Hazelnut55]

Such unbelievably sad news.

An amazing woman who loved her DH and crumbs with all her heart.

Much love.

[Scarletbanner]

Oh no, what awful news.

Biscuit's posts were so full of love for her family. I hope the crumbs get to read them one day. But I am sure their family will tell them every day that their Mummy was here, and that she loved them so very much.

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

What awful news.
Her posts shone with love for her husband, boys and little girl. How horribly unfair life can be.

[Zazzabeans]

Such sad news.
Rest in peace biscuits xx

[HairyPotter]

Such sad news.

I followed her story from the beginning, she wrote so beautifully about her family. I can't hardly bear to think of them losing her.

I want to say so much more but I don't have the words.

Rip lovely Biscuits xx
