R.I.P Glory

[Cleoriff]

As you can see from the thread title, I have some tragic upsetting news to pass on to the members of this forum.

Our friend @Glory1  passed away in hospital on Saturday.

To avoid speculation and questions I will tell you what I know.

Glory had been missing from the forum for 5 days at the beginning of August. I phoned, text and messaged her and had no response. I made the decision to call the police in London. They responded and found her collapsed in her flat. She was rushed to hospital and apart from a few minor injuries and dehydration, she appeared to be stable until they did a few more tests. They treated her accordingly and I was able to talk to her in hospital and all was well. Unfortunately, last week they found something more serious and she was taken to Theatre for major surgery. Again, she appeared to be recovering until last Thursday when her condition deteriorated.

As I was the only person they had a phone number for, they called to let me know.

Tragically her condition worsened and despite their best efforts, Glory passed away on Saturday afternoon. I'm assured by the sister in ITU that she didn't suffer.

On a personal note I'm shocked beyond belief. During her 3 years here we had become very close friends.

I will miss her so much.

Sad 😔 beyond words..
@Cleoriff as kept me up to date on a daily basis and I thought she was on the road to a slow recovery. When I heard the terrible news I was shocked.
She was a good friend and will be sadly missed.
RIP @Glory1 ❤️

That is very sad news @Cleoriff 

I obviously didn't know her personally, but just by reading her posts she left me with the impression that she was a lovely kind caring lady.

She will be missed greatly by many on this forum.

RIP @Glory1

I am truly heart broken.

In the short time that I got to know her, chatting with her on the threads and via pms, I found her to be a lovely, approachable person, who listened and offered support, and had a wonderful sense of humour.

Gloria was rightly recognised as the "Friendliest Member" in the Community Awards 2018.

She will be missed by everyone.

A sad day for the O2 and all those who knew her.
