Panders Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hello All, I'm sad to inform you that my Mother (Panders) passed away peacefully with her family around her on Friday the 14th July. Out of respect I haven't looked back through her account, but she did talk about this forum often, and it helped with advice for a grandchildren, it also gave her a sense of community. Thank you all for you're activity on here, All the best and much love, Anderson Family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Oh I’m devastated! I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock. She was such a fabulous, fabulous person on here, always ready with helpful advice and friendship, always ready for a bit of lighthearted fun. Although we obviously never met in person, I regarded her as a true friend, whose shining light on here will be very sadly missed. Much love to you all, and know that our thoughts and prayers go with you xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseketeer Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I am truly saddened to read this sad news, as others have said, I’ve been lucky enough to consider Panders a ‘forum’ friend for a number of years, her wisdom and wise words will be greatly missed 😔 My heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Oh no, I am so sad to hear this news. Panders was a much respected member of our forum community and we valued her greatly. The whole team at the FSF and Tapestry send their condolences- if Panders had a certain charity that she felt a connection with, we'd like to make a donation in her name, if you felt that was appropriate. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Terribly sad to read this - Panders was a great friend to many on the forum for a good chunk of its existence. Although her current member profile shows her as joining in 2009, she was previously a member under a different name. Whenever I saw her icon pop up I knew I was likely to be reading something either witty, profound or supportive. We've been trying to find any personal details that would allow us to send some flowers from her friends here, but so far have been unable to do so. If anyone does have this information please do PM me. Alternatively if her son reads this (and I hope these messages from her community bring some comfort to you), please could you email me at steve@eyfs.info if you are prepared for us to send something. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm saddened to read this, I too have such fond memories of Pander's warmth, humour and all round being a good egg. I hope her family may get to read these posts, and know what an importnat role she palyed in this community. A lovely idea to donate to a favourite charity if anyone knows if she had one. In lieu of not knowing, she was always a great supporter of our Children in Need fund raising fun evenings of the early days, so that might be quite fitting perhaps? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
