Our lovely TQ. TwitterQueen. We thought the world of her, she touched the lives of so many and we were all better for it. It was absolutely devastating when she died from ovarian cancer. Fuck cancer. Life was epically cruel to this beautiful woman.
We send our love and thoughts to her wonderful girls of whom she could not be more proud, her love for them shone like the brightest star, and we think of all who love and miss her everyday. We will remember TQ with hearts full and a big smile as we recall her in a dinner plate sized super sparkly badge at our Hugathon in September 2018. Epic!
She was a MNer for many years and will be sorely missed by so many of us here. The love and support she gave to so many folk on the cancer support thread was quite extraordinary, even when she was so ill herself. We were constantly in awe of this wonderful, thoughtful, super intelligent, caring, bloody funny woman. She sought to raise awareness of ovarian cancer which is often called the 'silent killer'. She really wanted more women to be aware of what few symptoms there are and in doing so undoubtedly saved lives.
How lucky we were to know her 
We have offered each of her three daughters a blanket and are so glad they have all accepted, so glad we can all give them a great big Woolly Hug, especially after all the blankets TQ contributed to over the years, she worked so hard to bring comfort to others, whether it was our Mumsnet Woolly Hugs, Candy’s Hugs for women going through treatment for cancer or our ‘Chernobs’ Her compassion was endless. It really is time for her family now.
We hope that you can help us.
