I am sure she would have been pleased that new members were coming along and enjoying her stories.

Even later here, if only I saw this sooner. I didn't speak with her much but this is still a shock to me. So very, very sad. Thank you for posting this. I wish I had read her stories before now so that I could have seen them in a happier light. :'(

I'm a latecomer to this sad news but I too very much enjoyed her presence here. A great loss to the Biggles world. Condolences to all.

by Spitfire666 » Sat Aug 29, 2015 7:50 am On a forum we can feel very close to some people; on a forum we can be very close to some people. We get a strong feel of what a person is like from their posts: humour and good sense are attributes quickly picked up. As well as SA’s many and apt posts read ...

Oh no, that is sad news. I hardly knew here, but from her posts on here, she was always helpful, witty, intelligent, and enjoyed a good laugh. The laughing smiley was always her favourite, wasn't it?

That is a fantastic idea, tiff.

Yes that is a lovely idea.

That is a really fitting tribute, Tiff. She would be tickled pink at the idea, I'm sure."


A lovely idea.

by tiffinata » Fri Aug 28, 2015 7:48 am I have been thinking hard all day and trying to come up with an appropriate tribute, and it has not been easy. I don't mind sharing that I cried when I first heard the news. I find myself nodding in agreement to what others have said in previous posts. It was ...

Sad indeed. Odd to miss someone you never met, but feels like a big gap in family.

by SopwithCamel » Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:01 pm SaintedAunt will indeed be greatly missed. I had never met her, but we corresponded through email and I found her to be a lovely, understanding, and warm person. Her Biggles and Algy stories were brilliantly on point and were wonderful to read. Hopefully th...

Very sad news. SA had not been on the Forum much recently and I was wondering if there was something wrong. The Tribute is an excellent idea.

Postby Kismet » Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:20 pm My condolences to all who knew Sainted Aunt well. She will be missed for many reasons: her knowledge, her willingness to share all things Biggles, and her story telling prowess amongst them. I am glad that I was able to meet her on this Forum. Her absence is ...

Postby Frederique » Thu Aug 27, 2015 12:14 pm SA was wonderful, considerate, generous, brilliantly witty, and her writing incomparable. Really, words are insufficient to describe the incredible person that she was - and how greatly she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends an...

Postby Fairblue » Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:21 am My sympathies to her family and friends at this sad time. SA will leave a big hole in the forum. Her stories about Biggles and Algy were matchless. It is very sad to think we will no longer have her incredible talent to entertain us. I first met her at Liv...

Thank you for creating this memorial for SA and I sent out my deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone who knew her, both in person and online.

Postby Tracer » Thu Aug 27, 2015 9:19 am

So sad. Thank you for letting us know, and for such a good idea for a tribute. I hope SA will know, wherever she is, how much she was/is appreciated.

Postby OzBiggles1963 » Thu Aug 27, 2015 8:29 am Thank you for letting us know S666, sad news indeed. I have not had any personal interaction with Sainted Aunt, but my sincere condolences go out to all of her relatives, friends & those forum members who have met with her in person. I have enjoyed her...

Postby Spitfire666 » Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:23 am We are sorry to inform you that SaintedAunt has passed away from an inoperable brain tumour. She will be greatly missed.

I hope that means you are making some money so no worries!

Anyone know why we keep getting these Anonymous requests? We keep deleting them but they seem to come from different people??
