    RIP redhead

    Some of you will remember redhead (Denise) , a frequent poster on here not so long ago, my wife and I used to meet Denise and her sister regularly at Cheltenham races for a chat.

    I am the bearer of bad news I'm afraid and have to inform you of her passing after a spell of illness.

    Have stickied the thread for a couple of weeks, and changed her user group.

    Don't know if a few people want to donate a few £ each towards some flowers or anything for the forum to send? Don't know what a decent bunch of flowers for something like this costs though if anyone has some pointers, I'm happy to put something in

    Also moved to racing so more people see it

    Rest in peace redhead, our paths never crossed but we had much in common.

    An enjoyable, knowledgeable and sometimes spiky contributor, always worth an engagement and debate. If you have a route DG, let her family know that despite this just being an internet forum there are a bunch or real people on here who liked and respected Denise.

    The funeral is a week today, Feb 22nd and it is family flowers only. I think donations are for Sue Ryder http://www.sueryder.org/

    That is such sad news. Denise always struck me as a lovely person, and she was so enthusiastic about her racing. I had many a debate and chat with her at my original internet abode, and here too. Please send my condolences to her family Roger.

    Oh, that's so sad. I didn't know her but remember seeing her posts fairly regularly when I first came on here.

    Condolences to her family and friends.

    Rest in peace, Denise.

    I was able to pass the news to Krizon who also passes on her condolences - pleased to say K sounded in good form.
