Zombie - the old lush needs us, so rally around you Phalanxers

[Fiderer]

Drinking is allowed. Encouraged even.

Smoking is allowed.

Weeping & wailing most definitely not so out there with you.

Kisses & hugs v welcome.

I hope Zombie is comfortable and having lovely dreams. You are an amazing woman Zombie

Now seems a good time to finally de-lurk. I've been on mn (for better or worse) for 11yrs.
Zombie - I've followed you/seen you for a good few years. You've given me laughs and shocks in equal measure. I can't help but love someone who says what they see.

Hugs and kisses to all of the phalanx. Respect to the ZMassive xxx.
I'm put in mind of Dave Allen "may your god go with you"

I have only recently read about Zombie, but I hope she is comfortable and I am thinking of her family tonight.

Sweet dreams Zombie

Sending love and heartfelt hope that you are peaceful and pain free tonight, zombie.

Yet another delurker.

I've followed your threads for years but have always been too shy and dull to join in.

I wish you peace for the next stage of your journey. I hope you know how many people you have touched. I'm picking back up my hook and will begin a few Candy Hugs squares in your honour.

Sending you gentle virtual hugs xx

Delurking. Thinking if you Zombie......hope you are pain free.

Delurking to send love &&

Pain free peace Zombie. X

This thread starts, what?, 2 hours ago and you are 10 pages in to it?!
FFS impressed

I've not read back.
Love and hugs to Zombie and every member of the phalanx

Another delurker. Zombie

thinking of zombie and all who know and love her.

Right, Phalanx. Phalanx up. (Apart from Somer cos, well we know)

The last thing Zombie would want is us being glum & gloomy. So, enough weeping & wailing (& I know you have been cos I have been too)

so joy & life & we'll miss the old boot.

Zombie you are a wonderful and inspiring woman. Godspeed xx

Encountering zombie back in 2010 was one of the things that made me realise MN was for me ..

Sweet, pain free, dreams Zombie

Only just had a chance to come on since this morning. I'm so sorry and so sad to hear the news.

Dear Zombie, I hope you know how many lives you've touched. I get the feeling that you'd shrug it off and be self-depreciating about it, but you truly are one wonderful lady. Your stoicism, wit and sense of humour shine through in all that you write. It has been my honour and my privilege to have been a tiny, infinitesimal part of that, mostly through lurking and reading your posts. It is a huge regret of mine that I didn't start posting sooner. You are a huge inspiration.

To all the Phlanx, who have been around for so long, my thoughts and love are with you all. I can't pretend to know what it is those of you who are so close to her are going through and I certainly wouldn't presume to intrude, but I am here to offer you as much love, support and virtual gin as you want.

Thinking of ZLad and ZLass too. There really are no words.

🍸🍷🍺 for all those who need them as well as .

All my love xxx

Ride that morphine Zombie. Thanks to you, the world (and MN) are better places.

Just out of interest why did Zombie stop posting in the 3rd person, I've never known?

You are right Fiderer x

Lovely Zombie hope you are pain free and comfortable. Thinking of you and all your loved ones.

Hey Zombie. You don't know me but I've been on MN a long time and you've been such an outstanding character, I remember many threads, both hilarious and otherwise. A squeeze to your hand.

Having another Pinot in her honour. We drank it at Earls Court.

Ok Fid - I'm sending positive vibes out across the thread and am setting up the virtual MN bar.

Place your orders now - it's happy hour all night and nuts are free!!!

Settles back with a quadruple small G&T and awaits customers to toast Zombie.

Fiderer is quite right of course. The old boot would be kicking our arses for being miserable if she wasn't off her face on morphine right now.

Can we have some funny stories/memories of Candy instead? There must be loads.

Did she ever get to the bottom (metaphorically speaking) of that hole in the garden with the buried archway just visible?

No gin for me, but I will have A Pernod and lemonade please 😄
