We have heard the very sad news that yesterday our member Romantic Old Bird has passed away. As some of you knew, she had been ill with terminal cancer and was diagnosed six months ago. We had known her on TiBB since its beginning in 2001 and aswell as being a close friend to many of our present and former members, she was a much loved member of the TiBB family.

Wendy was a great person, very articulate, intelligent and engaging, both when you met her and in her writing. She was a fantastic writer as you can see from looking back at her posts and the wonderful, witty stories she wrote.

She even had her own area on the forum called 'ROB's Little World' where she could post her stories. Everyone used to look forward to the next one and her posts must have been one of the reasons I started posting on these forums in the first place. Even when writing about her ill health she retained her characteristic positivity and good humour.

I personally think back on all the fun she brought to the forum and also when I met her at a BB final in 2003. They were great times.

We will miss her very much and I send my best wishes to her family.
