Hello everyone. I have asked Wonkey Donkey's daughter for permission to put a link here to a Just Giving page set up in her memory by the family, in aid of the hospice where she was nursed during her last few days. I hope it won't be against the T&Cs of the site.
I know that one or two people wanted to send flowers but maybe a small donation here instead would be very much appreciated. xx https://www.justgiving.com/Remembering-CarolineB/

I missed that the firs time around. I'm going to try to do just that.
I'll also try to keep the multi-quote style present in these forums, since I do that anyway. ![]() Thanks, zeebra, and like ValW I was brought to tears as the pictures mixed with memories.

If we going back to the discussion on Big Brother, I do think Channel 5 should bring back full live feed and stop with this stupid Big Brother clone that is pleasuring no one.

As it's only a fake eviction tonight it would be nice if we could Tweet this link during the show with the #CBB hashtag. The hospice would appreciate the donations more than the show needs the voting money.
![]() it's weird, I'm still getting a small 'sinking' pang every time I come on this forum and see this thread at the top. Almost as if I'm hoping for an update to say it's not so. That's a pretty powerful reaction to someone I didn't know and had only a very brief online encounter with. WD really made a remarkable mark. |

A great idea - it's a rubbish vote tonight, one Wonkey would have smartly picked to pieces in her heydey of BB commenting - anyone who does spend money voting might like to send it to the hospice instead. |

Do you know I feel exactly the same! I just feel so sad every time I come onto the forum as and see that thread title. Wonkey was the same age as me - you never know what's around the corner.

Seeing the pictures of Wonkey brought a tear to my eye, you could see the warmth, the inner happiness, and how full of life she looked - very much how I would have imagined her. Gone far far too young, but I have no doubl she brought everyone in the world who was close to her so much joy in her time here. Thinking of her friends and family - RIP a wonderful lady. |

![]() Taken from her page About Caroline Blair Born on: 01/10/1956 Died on: 08/09/2015 , 58 years old ![]() I guessed she was a similar age - I really identified with much of what she posted. |
