A whisky/whiskey for the Zombie

[WatcherOfTheNight]

So sad to hear about Zombie tonight & cant find a new thread now that the keep the home fires thread is full?
Is there one?
Such a wonderful woman who will be missed by so so many people.
No words seem enough, just wanted to raise a glass 🥃 to toast the legend that is Zombie & the legacy she's left behind.x

Orlanda he is ace! I'll pass that on, but he gets very embarrassed by all these compliments!

Fly free Zombie, I raised a glass of chocolate Baileys to you last night.

So sorry ZombieLad, ZombieLass and ZombieNiece.

Go well, Candy, you will always be remembered with a grin.

Fly high Zombie, you are free x

Much love to the Phalanx, I'm not on here a lot any more and it's great to see some old names on Zombie's threads

Lovely tribute ikl

Ikl that's a lovely tribute (although it's set me off again)

Z would definitely not approve if the best wake ever wasn't organised in her name.

Oh and morning everyone of course.

Fid hope you and the fidkids are bearing up.

RIP Zombie. x

I can only echo Cheerful Yank. God she was brave.

It was a privilege to read her words all these years.

Damn Bugger and Fuck.
Thinking of Zombie's friends and family. Candy you remain an inspiration and your spirit and strength will stay will us. I will continue to contribute to Candy's hugs and think of you with every stitch. Heaven has a new star.
Drink the gin, wear the red dress and live for now phalanx.
Goodbye awesome lady.

Once the Solicitor (Legal Bod) has been in touch and her last wishes discussed there will be obviously a funeral. We do know that Candy wanted a Wake (hereafter known as the Bar Brawl and Bun Fight). As ZombieLad will have to arrange to travel from across the pond it won't sorted rapidly.

Details from FB, just posted by Candy's friend. I've took out all the personal information.

Sleep tight.

Godspeed Zombie. I lurked and never posted but loved your wit and wisdom, and what bravery to the end.

ikl
That is just perfect.

I have permission to start on the whilst in charge of 2 DC, so I raise a glass to Zombie.

Go in peace zombie, with the love of so many to hold you.

And thank you xx

Good morning, Phalanx.

Thinking of you all today as we try to come to terms with the news. It's certainly not too early for a , so everyone raise your glass to a magnificent, incredible, irrepressible Zombie woman!

So sad to read this news for you Zombie

I agree, Ikl, that poem was simply beautiful.

Who's been chopping sodding onions again?!

Fid, thinking of you and all of the DBF Team who have walked along with Zombie for so long .

IKl thank you for sharing, off I go again 😪

Words failed me when the expected became reality last night. And I don't think any of us should feel daft/inappropriate for shedding tears. Not only has Candy touched our hearts, the coming together in solidarity to support her and each other is profoundly moving in ways I find hard to articulate.

Ah fuck
I'm relieved that Candy is free from all pain and illness for her sake
So dreadfully sorry for her family and friends
She's leaving a beautiful woollen legacy that's going to touch so many lives.
But she leaves such a big fucking zombie shaped hole in these boards

She was a true MN icon and I feel ridiculously sad about this for someone I've never met. Go well Zombie

Zombie .

Such an inspiration and this is so mighty sad , ,My condolences to Zombie's family and friends.
Rest Well Zombie
