    It is with a very heavy heart I have to tell you all some bad news passed to me by Dai.
    I am sure there are many of us on here who knew GOGS...

    The lovely Moira passed away last Sunday 4th August 2019 after a brief illness..
    I know she was a good friend to many of us here and thought you would all like to know...

    Sleep peacefully and I hope you have a smile now Moira.. :imphrt: :cry3:​

            Sadly I don't think I got to 'meet' Moira, sleep tight in the glorious garden above.x
            Condolences to all her family and friends.

              I knew her from way back (she joined GC a week or so after me) and I remember her with affection. :imphrt:

                I didn’t know Moria either but her posts on the Yawn, Yawn thread were welcoming, friendly and kind
                Sad news indeed :)

                It is incredible sad when we lose a member on here, especially long running members like Moira.. We kept up on and off and I did wonder a few weeks back about her and messaged her, but heard nothing, but didn't think too much into it as that was how we were, now I know, but to get Dai's message was a real shock.. She was a lovely lovely person and we had a few laughs and tears over the years...

                I am sad but thankful that Dai had been in contact thankfully.. We sadly don't know why people disappear usually, so, sad but nice in a way that we can all say a good bye to her in our own way...

                          Yes, I remember Gogs. Didn’t realise her name was Moira. Very sad to hear this. Thanks for letting us know Marley/Dai.

                          She only found out she had cancer 3 or 4 weeks before her death.
