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.

Sparkychick kept her sense of humour up until the end, she took delight in telling her mother that she had got a tattoo, after her mother calmed down she explained it was a blue dot about the size of a pin head used to locate the cross lasers of the Halcyon machine when receiving Radio Therapy.

There are no Google ads anywhere in this thread out of respect, and so that people can share the news far and wide knowing it's going to be quick and easy to read all these lovely comments. Cant get my method to stick they keep coming back sorry.

THANKS TO EVERYBODY THATS REPLIED SO FAR AND MAY DO IN THE FUTURE NO DOUBT.

I'm very sad too to hear the news. Another great mind lost, and from what I have read on here, a really nice decent woman.

Very sad news RIP. ---

Depth, fortitude and courage so lacking in many, an inspiration to all. I remember reading her first, and then subsequent updated posts. Reading that update of hers, with a lump in my throat, which was as humble as it was strong, as matter of fact as it was emotional, and just thinking of how long she may have spent at the keyboard to find the composure to share with us all.

No longer in pain, she remains with us here, her wisdom and wit embedded alongside her final emparting - that life is precious and we should live it fully right up until the final breaker. RIP.
