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.

Another lurker wishing peace & love

Zombie, remember Zombies can never die .

You will be forever in the memories of everyone of us. When you read this you will know the the good, the bad, the ugly and the limbless will all be raising a glass to you and your lovely Zombie family.

Right, well if we're doing music I'd like to lob these on the playlist

I've never met Zombie but I can't help but think of her as a bit kick-ass gal (no shit huh??!) and also one of those fab women who loves a bit of music that might be a bit out of the box, that as well as beautiful harmonies also offer something else as well, a kinda mash up of harmonies and grit IYKWIM? Sooooooo, with a heavy heart but with a faint smile too I'm chucking these 2 into the mix.

By utter chance this was also TeamAM's anthem but I'd love to offer it up now too as with you lovely lot gathering ranks, it feels beyond appropriate - 'Put your vehicle in drive and stop by my side...

And this too as again is a mix of both light and shade, just as life is and just as we all are (again, IMHO). Every day is a 'school day' and even whilst slipping away - hopefully in utter peace and on a blissed out morphine cloud - it seems to me that Zombie has reminded us all of a lot of lessons over the past 48 hours or so.... Lessons on dancing like no-one's watching, on sucking the marrow out of life, and on loving whilst you can amongst others.

So.... let the light guide your way, hold every memory as you go [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk and every road you take will always guide you home

And can you stop with the niceness to me please as I swear there is already a sodding onion lurking in this room somewhere and Fid told us we aren't allowed to snivel.

Evening Phalanx! Massive Genital hugs to you all!😂😂😂

I've lit a candle for Zombie, sending love & hugs. Thinking of you. Hope the morphin cloud is quite nice. X

Delurking to send love and to say my candle is lit xxxx

Wishing you happiness and bliss in your next adventure Zombie.

Exploded

A while back when Zombie visted ZombieLad in da states she posted some photos. I can ask him if he's ok with me finding & reposting them or some or whatever.
We are not besties or anything but hopefully won't mind me asking.

Ah zombie... another lurker delurking to wish you much love. I only recently came across your threads and then read them in reverse order. Your story has astonished me with your bravery and wonderful humour.

You have been in my thoughts all day. Wishing you love and peace xxx

Delurking also to wish you peace in your final journey Zombie. It sounds like you have had a life well lived and you have been well loved. We should all aspire to that.

Is snivelling ok if interspersed with little smiles at a memory or a feeling?

Because that's what's happening here. Just a few tears, but then a smile as I read through some of the comments here and think how marvellous this little corner of the internet is.

I think that would be lovley zing.
obviously as long as permission has been granted.

Someone's been chopping onions the last few days over here.

Just in time for my work ID photo to get taken. I look like I have revisited my goth phase.

I blame you lot with your sob inducing songs and heartfelt words.

Zing that's a lovely idea

Candle is lit tonight. Lots of love to Zombie.

sorry about the double post

sorry about the double post

Another thread-lurker just wanting to send love and peace to Zombie, one of the best MNers of all time. Xx

Hey AM , perfect words as always. As someone who always lurked amidst Zombies threads , I may never have known you in real life , but how I wish I had.

I wish you a peaceful onward journey, and may you have a riot , wherever you may be .

ffs!

Pistey that was truly a night to remember, the MN 15th birthday party.

Of course Zombie was there, also Justine, President Olivia, Helen and others from MNHQ but I think the highlight for me (other than dancing with Zombie) was meeting Gareth Malone and his lovely wife. She is a MNer for sure. also got to meet Boris Johnson but that is not usually a popular thing to say on here

AM

Wondering if I'm the only MN-er who had to catch their breath when john Denver came on radio 2 earlier.

almost heaven, west Virginia

(Or indeed if I'm the only MN-er who listens to radio two...)

Another raising a virtual glass to the wonderful zombie, and lighting a candle tonight to send some more warmth and light your way. Cariad Mawr

De-lurking to say I am thinking about you and your family. You have made me laugh and cry

All thoughts from a long time lurker here, Zombie. Much love and respect to you x
