The non famous people 2016 has claimed
So 2016 has claimed many famous people we have known and loved but it has also claimed many people that are only known and loved to people on this forum. Here's a thread to remember the other special people in our lives that 2016 has claimed.
Tracy who was 42 and the secretary of our director, always happy and smiling and the glue that held our department together. She left a 5 year old daughter. Janice my work lunchtime buddy, friend and fellow cynic. 6 weeks from diagnosis of ovarian cancer to her passing. She was 53. |

My Mother-in-law, who was 97 when she passed away, at her Somerset Nursing Home in middle November. Her funeral was in December. She had a pacemaker not so long ago, and felt chipper. Her certificate says she died from old age, which I found very surprising! She's much missed by all of us.

The lovely Joy who was one of the first people I met when I moved here. She was the embodiment of her name and bought joy to all who knew her. I met her at one of her felt-making workshops and will now always treasure the tulip I made that day.

A trustee of a small charity. He died after being hit by a car. Mums cousin died from cancer, an uncle had septicaemia and one of dads relatives died. Not too sure of the situation. Think they said it was old age.
A friends mum also died. She had dementia. |

This thread is making me cry, reading it hits home very hard. Because we all have a Mum a Dad e.t.c That we will loose one day if we haven't all ready.
We don't all personally know a George Micheal or David Bowie e.t.c e.t.c. But of course, they have there loved ones who will miss them terribly to! |

My Mum, who died on 4th January after a horrible 2-year battle with ovarian cancer.
My Mum's brother died of cancer a week after she did. My Dad, who died of dementia and prostate cancer (they aren't quite sure which one killed him!) on 28th May. My sister-in-law's mother and aunt passed away, her grandmother chose euthanasia 2 weeks ago (they live in Holland). |

The manager of my favourite bar. He was 39 and the most wonderful man you could wish to meet. He made everybody feel welcome and was always talking to customers. Sometimes actually getting a pint was tricky because he was talking to the other customers.
A wonderful man who could quote a line from a TV show, movie or book. His funeral not only filled the chapel at the crematorium but also the 'overspill' room with another 50 plus people standing outside. The wake* at the pub he worked at was completely packed and busier than Christmas Eve. Edited - If there was any 'good' to be taken from his death it's that people who never previously spoke beyond general pleasantries have become friends while talking at the wake* *It wasn't really a wake and he certainly wouldn't have wanted one. All friends together out and getting drunk while having a laugh. |

Are you saying you think she was murdered? It happens in Miss Marple a lot.

My granddad died at the beginning of the year (brain tumour). I was quite close to him, but live about 2 and a half hours away, so didn't get to see him that often. I still don't think it's quite sunk in that I'll never see/speak to him again.
