I too will miss her immensely, she was a great mod and also a good friend.
Her advice and comments on this forum were always spot on, she was funny, kind, helpful and very knowledgable.
She was a lovely person, I’ll never forget her.

Like everyone else I am struggling to find the words.

I will miss her a great deal.

I agree with everyone's previous comments on her kindness and knowledge and willingness to help others.

My condolences to all who will miss her.

So sad to read this. Such a loss. She seemed so positive about life and so full of helpful advice for everyone. There was no indication that she was even unwell. My condolences to her family and those closest to her.

Met just the one time. Felt I already knew her well from communications in forums. Wish I‘d had more time in her company.
I hope she knew how greatly esteemed she is in here. Generous to a fault, with words and deeds. Will be missed, but leaves a legacy here of good advice. Will not be forgotten.
I hope her loved ones gain some small comfort from the posts in here, that acknowlege how she was, and still is so greatly valued.

Friends, it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to let you know that our friend, colleague and fellow traveller, Goonergal has passed away, after a short but courageous battle with an aggressive cancer. Goonergal died last Monday night.

Goonergal was a great supporter of this forum and worked tirelessly during her period as a Moderator. She felt it was a way of giving back to a community who had given her so much.

My heartfelt condolences go to her family, friends, both on and off-line and those who loved her. I know I will miss her enormously. Goonergal’s family have asked their privacy is respected at this time.

Goonergal was a very special person, the likes of whom we don’t encounter too often. Rest easy my friend. Rest easy.



Mods: I appreciate this isn't strictly on-topic on this sub-forum, but Goonergal was know by so many I didn't want it to be lost in anywhere too specific. Sorry!
