Indy51

[Brunneria]

Hi Everyone,

I am terribly saddened to give you all this news.

Jill has passed.

I received an email from her executor informing me. Apparently it was a specific request asking that her forum friends be told. Which is a very kind gesture.

Those of you who have been visiting the forum for years may well remember her distinctive avatars and somewhat acerbic, but always well intentioned posts.

My visits to DCUK may be less frequent now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think of you all, frequently. And I was only thinking of Jill 2 days ago, wondering how she was, and how things were for her. Her posts had become very infrequent as she focussed on her personal battle for survival. The whole time I knew her (since 2012, I think) she had a terrible lung diagnosis hanging over her along with T2, and the fact she lived this long is an incredible testament to her bravery, self discipline and willingness to fight.

This is very sad news, but thanks for sharing it @Brunneria

Tragic. Few people did as much as she did to spread the word.

Thank you for telling us. I really didn't think death could be so near for diabetics. R.I.P. Jill.

A forum superstar who will be very much missed.

Rest in peace Jill. A light has turned off in the world. Thank you for your service in helping us understand and combat diabetes. Your contributions will be sorely missed.

@Brunneria Thank you for letting us know she was so helpful to me especially with her many postings of informative and transformative lectures. I had been wondering if she was okay - so sad to hear of her passing.

 

[Speedbird]

So sorry to hear this sad news. May she rest in peace.

Very sad. Wasn’t aware she was even sick. Can’t say I “knew” her very much at all but I have a lot of time for forthright people so she always commanded my respect.

RIP.

So very sad to read this. She has often been in my thoughts. She was always there with information that has helped many of us, despite her dreadful lung condition and the struggles she had with it. Rest in peace, Indy.

Very sad news.
Thank you for sharing, @Brunneria , and how very thoughtful of her to make sure we were informed.

 

[Grant_Vicat]

Thank you for letting us know @Brunneria - very sad news. During an inter-beneficiary service this morning, I was playing the organ while over a hundred people remembered their lost loved ones. Jill was very much in my mind.

Thanks for letting us know, @Brunneria - I only ever knew her as Indy51, but she was one one my constant and most informative sources of information since I joined the forum in 2014, and I'll be forever grateful to her.

 

[Pipp]

Thank you, @Brunneria

Indy, bless her, gave so generously of her time and interest in others’ health issues. Her research of issues I had with my own health, aside from T2, helped so much.

She will be missed, greatly, but I was blessed to have known her.

Rip indy, you'll be sorely missed on this forum and I'm sure in real life too.
