I was informed yesterday that ellie2cats, who had been a member since July 2007, sadly passed away a week ago yesterday. She'd had a fall, spent several days in hospital before returning home only to go back again where she had a heart attack from which she didn't recover.
I'll remember her as following my comment where I identified a plant in her garden as collomia she very kindly sent me a few.

I hadn't read this dear ladys posts but just had a look.How splendid that she was making jam just a few weeks ago.
When you lose someone it's a comfort to know they "lived"until they died ,by that I mean enjoyed living .

Thanks everybody! It was her son who emailed me, among many others, and another member widgetwilk who told me what had happened. She'd been a near neighbour who had known Ellie for ten years and said, not surprisingly, that she would miss her a lot.
1066 unfortunately the plants she sent me didn't fare too well and I was only recently thinking of asking her if she'd saved any seed this year so that I could try again. What I'll do now is to buy some, and if I'm successful I'll offer some here next year.

Didn't know her, but it is always sad when a fellow enthusiast dies. Commiserations to family and friends.
