It's with regret I have to inform you, Christina (Sparkychick) has passed

It's with regret I have to inform you that Christina, the Sparkychick we all knew and loved, has passed.

I've just spoken to somebody on her phone and she informed me of the sad news. I'd been chatting to her about making a badge or 'golden spoon' as somebody put it, to give to those who are hitting or in retirement and deserve the nod. And I only spoke last week and she was up for it and asking about how much control we have over the CSS style of it, I said all, to which she was pleased.

But I guess it was her time.

Thank you for all your hard work with the forum over the past few years even before coming on as staff she was super helpful and knowledgeable and willing to share it with all budding sparks.

You'll always be remembered Sparky Chick.

My condolences to the family and so sad. I enjoyed reading her reply’s May she rest in peace.

So sorry, the one and only SC.
We knew the situation but still a shock. I didn't expect her to succumb so quickly.
Rest in Peace Christina, and condolences to all concerned.

Aaaaaaah.... She did warn people it was "going to be quick" . Never met Christina , but despite some fierce moments , we found "peace " in a PM sometime ago . Her response and "warning " to me about my health will stay with me . And I have taken her advice to heart . If the forum are going to collect for Flowers etc . I would like to donate .

Life isn’t fair it always seems to be the decent ones are taken far too early. We also seem to have a lack of female sparks I hope she would have like to hear that the company I work for have just started 2 young ladies ( ones 21 the other is 24) as apprentices. At the moment they seem keen let’s hope with the right guidance they end up as passionate as sparkychick

 

[Baddegg]

Absolutely devastated to hear this, she helped and supported me no end when I first started in this game, would love to have known you in real life rip @SparkyChick

 

[grumpyjohn01]

Didn't know her personally but always appreciated her knowledgeable posts, she was definitely one of the ones you always took notice of if she contributed. Very sad news, RIP
