Perse I am pleased that you saw it there. I did think that you and maybe Jan (if she looks in) would be more likely to see it on that thread.

I am so sad to hear this news, thanks Dizzi for calling me yesterday when I was on my way home from my holiday in Derbyshire to let me know.

I remember BC from my earliest threads on the boards and she was always supportive, friendly and wise, and had such a zest for life, she was a friend to all.

I knew she was ill as I heard from her fairly recently but didn't realise how long she had been fighting the health problems she suffered. I am so sad for her family and close friends and all those who will miss her so much, as we will miss knowing she is around but now she is free from pain and suffering then there is comfort in knowing that.

Bless you BC for all your kindnesses and the humour you brought, you were a special person who had the biggest heart and will always be remembered.

Reunited now with all those you loved and cared about, gone before, my deepest sympathy to your family who have lost a vital link their chain.

Your Tacki will have been waiting on Rainbow Bridge.

Oh no !!! How sad. I am really sorry to read this news. We had a few laughs a couple of years ago when my garden was overtaken by Buttercups.

BC will be missed by all.

My condolences to her family and all her friends

Let us take the time to look
Upon the lowly buttercup
Her beauty is there for all to see
She sits there very prettily
Full of golden glowing grace
A sunny smile upon her face
She feels not need to compete
With others who are more elite
She grows where others wouldn't dare
Brightening a patch once bare.

I'd like to add a saying that Mo (BC) and myself often quoted when speaking of a loss...

"Say not in grief
she is no more,
but live in thankfulness
that she was." <3

Whenever I saw BC's name I was reminded of Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinefore -
"My name it is Buttercup,
Dear little Buttercup
Sweet little Buttercup I .........

I didn't meet BC but was amused and heartened by her posts.

She will always be "Dear little, sweet little Buttercup" to me.

Condolances to all her family and friends.

I am very sad to read this news.

I never had the chance to meet BC and certainly didn't know that she was ill. I hope she will now rest in peace.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to her family <3

My sincere condolences to BC's friends and family.

There's a tear in your eye,
And I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such pow'r in your smile,
Sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile,
And now, smile a smile for me.

When BC's eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear our BC sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when BC's eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.

For your smile is a part
Of the love in your heart,
And it makes even sunshine more bright.
Like the linnet's sweet song,
Crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter and light.
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get.

Sweet dreams lovely lady.

Prickles. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
