roobarb Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've put off writing this thread for months,as nobody knows what to say to make me feel any better. There is nothing you really can say, but I know I have your support. As many as you know, I am having health problems. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, despite everybodies best efforts, the treatment has been unsuccessful and I am now terminal. Im not sure how much longer I've got, probably weeks, hopefully months but I will keep posting for as long as possible!! You will be wondering what will happen to Zebedee as I am now too poorly to drive him. Well I have sold him to an active and respected member of the forum so he's not going to disappear!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Oh Mandy... this is beyond awful news!!! I've only met you briefly at TOTB a couple of years ago, but I've seen everything you've contributed here and, of course, the beautiful Zebedee... just don't know what to say!!! So so so sorry to hear this... :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Charles Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Heartbreaking news. The car didn't even enter my head until you mentioned it. My thoughts are with you and your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfromthenorth Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Any news that flashes at me on facebook, along the lines of engagements, pregnancies etc I try not to comment. I feel it makes light of what should otherwise be an important, respected or emotional piece of news, so if I want to comment, I try hard to do so face to face. However on this forum, I feel it is in many ways more closely knit than my own "friend" feed on facebook. We may not have all spoken directly, but as a group we share, we learn, we laugh and we argue. We are all in this together, in that we care about our cars, we care about the club and we genuinely care about each other. So I hope that this is received as it is meant, and in no way cheapened by its presentation. Mandy, my own and I am sure everyone else's thoughts and best wishes are with you.

groover Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Having talked with you Mandy, i can say, i havent met anyone with your strength of mind and admire your resolve in the face of what you are dealing with, Julie sends her best as we both do and hope you manage to battle as long as you can, which i know you will. We are here for you to get anything off your chest, have a moan or a laugh and you will always have a place here in our hearts and the club :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mandy, I did know, but wanting to keep things up beat and as positive for as long as possible, especially whilst we were at the NEC back in November. You're very much an asset to the club and you're certainly held in high regard - an ambassador for the club! Long may you keep your strength and determination and I am sure any member of the club is standing by willing and able should you need it - that goes without question! If you ever need a talk, as always, just bung me a PM. Let's hope we can get you to some of the summer events! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveE Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi Mandy, although we may have been strangers in person, I have always enjoyed the banter and enthusiasm you have given this club and its members over the few years I have been a part of it and not least provided this club with one of the finest Zeds we have, that is a legacy that will be looked after and appreciated. long, long in to the future. But I hope the you find all the comfort and strength from your family and friends and know that among this forum you are and will always be a bright light and we look to have your company for however long we are blessed.
