So sorry to hear about WD. She was such a lovely FM. Always polite and respectful, while still making her point. I've probably read thousands of comments she wrote about BB and always found her commentary to be thoughtful and informed.

I will miss her. Condolences to her family

Fantastic contributor to the forums. RIP .x

Sad to hear of this. Many condolences to wonkeydonkey's family and great respect for her contributions on here. May her spirit live on in this forum and our memories of her

Extremely sad new about WonkeyDonkey. We didn't always agree with each other when it came to BB, but she was an amazing forum member and will be missed.

I'm so sad to hear this.

We've spent a lot of time over the years joking and debating, so to hear that we've lost a great long term member of the bb forum family is extremely saddening. Rip Wonkey xxx

Oh my goodness. I just saw this.

Wookey was actually the first person who ever PM'd me years ago.

We had a right few laughs.

RIP Wookey and much love to her family.

Such sad news RIP wonkey , you will be missed, thoughts with the family & friends, who knew and loved her xx

just listened to the updates on the page, thanks for the link .

Tomorrow would have been Wonkey's 59th birthday so I'll bump up the JustGiving pages in case anyone would like to leave a donation in remembrance.

Thanks.

Shit no! I did a game with her ages ago, a genuinely nice lady, I'll miss her posts on here

I wish I could have been saying happy birthday Wonkeydonkey.

Yes, and every day I see threads that make me think of her and wonder what she'd say.

Yes agree with you both

Me too but I will say it anyway. Happy Birthday WD - hope you are celebrating up there xxxx

Thinking of WD and her friends and family today as they meet to celebrate her life. A terrible loss of a special person, but someone who has left many happy memories behind.

The celebration of Caroline's life this afternoon was wonderful. The church was packed, the music and singing were a joy, and there were many poignant and emotional moments. Plus, of course, much laughter, especially from the speech given by Jim, her husband.

I was honoured to be asked to talk about her online life with Digital Spy, so the whole congregation were told about her tribute threads. I quoted a few comments from here too.

It was a pleasure to meet Minkski from the Luke Anderson Appreciation thread, and Trumbles, who came over and introduced himself.

Aww how lovely. I'm glad you all went and were able to represent the many of us who treasured her input on here.

Minkski wondered whether you might have been there this afternoon Val, sorry you couldn't make it.

I didn't know she was a fellow DS er until todays' memorial.

Her kindness, gentleness and fairness will not be forgotten.

Bless

Thanks that was nice to hear, just the send off she deserved !

There's not a chance I can travel that far these days unfortunately. Thankfully the Internet brings us all together. I hope when the family have settled down after the grief we could chat to them about some sort of online memorial page, as several people here have asked for one.

ICYMI on the finale show on Couch Potato Radio, as of 2016 and beyond the WHATM Little Brother thread will be dedicated to the memories of both Sad BB Addict and Wonkey

True stalwarts of BB and true legends of the forum who are very much missed and will always be with us in spirit and memories

"They're really not dead, as long as we remember them"

Lovely meeting zeebra and Trumbles yesterday : just a shame it was on a sad occasion, slightly surreal having wonkey give a sermon ! Some laughter and tears I miss her terribly xx

Is her sermon available online do you know?

There's a link to one on her JustGiving page:
