RIP: @Hopless 500 has left the building....

[Fab Foodie]

UPDATE: Fri 9th July - the wee small hours

With husband Paul and her Mum beside her, Corina ‘Hop’ Mitchell slipped silently into the long dark night...and wherever that is, they’ll need a feck of a lot of yarn....

Thank you all for your support, thoughts and kind words, they really mean a lot.

Fabbers and Wimpers xx

Many here will remember @hopless500 of this parish from her postings and meet-ups the Vernon Pie meet, Friday’s tour and the Cinque ports rides etc.
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that her brave 2 year battle with a brain tumour is coming to an end. Her best friend @Hill Wimp as been with her through the journey from an initial prognosis of 10 weeks to living a good life for nearly 22 months. In that time she married her long-term partner Paul who went as far to take her family name.
He has been the most patient and amazing carer.
Cat lover, skilled crafter, traveller and bon-viveur, she’ll be missed.
The end is nigh and we pray she slips-away peacefully.
From just last Saturday....

Cheers Hop X

I didn’t know her, but that is so sad.

 

[tyred]

Very sorry to hear this.

 

[potsy]

So so sorry to hear this, had the pleasure of meeting her just the once, really sad news.

 

[Brandane]

Puts other matters in perspective. Terribly sad to hear this, life is so fragile.

Sorry to be reading this.
Hope her remaining time is as pain free as possible.

Did she manage to keep the banana cake from Hill Wimp.

I knew her from her many posts on here but never knew she was going through that, RIP.

Sad news.

That’s so sad. @hopless500 is such a great person - she is fun to be with and is such a talented artist and crafter. She has a wicked sense of humour.

The Prof and I send our love. We also send our love to Paul, @Hill Wimp and you Fabbers. You have been true friends.

Hugs

Sorry to read about this
Sounds like another battle is lost

I never had the pleasure of meeting Corina, but will treasure the amazing miniature Christmas tree she crafted just a little more now.

So sorry to hear you're losing a great friend.

Unbearable, but somehow you must, remembering the good times.

Some comfort at least, that she has the support of wonderful people around her.

Go peacefully X X

Bugger. Reading about the shenanigans her and Wimpers got up to was a real giggle, two ladies behaving badly, just as they should. I hope her final journey is peaceful.

 

[ianrauk]

She's a lovely lady and I enjoyed meeting and chatting to her on the couple of rides we shared.
God Bless and all the love.
