Hi everyone.

I'm sorry to have to say that TheCrone passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was a great friend and influence for me, and she will be sadly missed.

If any of you wish to send personal messages or condolences, then please let me know, and I can provided an e-mail address for the family.

Much loved, dearly missed.

Sweet dreams.

PS: MODS - can you please leave the profile active for the time being, as family may wish to access correspondance, if this is possible.
Thank you.

I'm really sorry to hear that. She had a real gift for writing and the posts she made about her early life in Australia were fascinating reading. I don't think she quite reached the end of the story and we'll never know now. She certainly had experienced a lot in her lifetime but came across as a happy and contented person.

We've lost a good one there - sad news. Please pass on my condolences to her family.

Thank you NickyC.

I will be sure to pass on your wishes.

I just dont know what to say, I am stunned.

I talked with Shiela lots via forums and got to meet her twice - such a lovely lady with so many amazing stories to tell.

I only saw her a few weeks ago while we were out shopping...

RIP Sheila

Very sad. Please pass on my condolences. She had an inspirational life and a knack for telling an interesting story. I had wondered what had happened to her. RIP

Oh that is sad, she wrote so brilliantly of her past and her courage in overcoming obstacles was inspiring.
my condolences to her family

Some great posts; what a fascinating life. As TheCrone observed, she has certainly "Been there..."

RIP

My sincere condolences to the family of "The Crone". She sounds just like friends of my parents from Perth. She also died recently, but she had written a short book, which I luckily have a copy of. We were also lucky to see her and her husband before they both died (they hadn't seen me since I was a baby). Her short stories, based on her life in WA were facinating and an inspiration to us all, just as The Crones are. Our thoughts are with you at this time... Fi, Bob and gang x

I have seen a few posts by TheCrone but hadn't read her thread before. I am gutted that I didn't discover it before and very sad that TheCrone hadn't told all her stories.

She was an inspirational woman and I am sure her daughters are justly very proud of her. Their loss is huge. Please pass on my condolences.
