I recall Alison's passing as a shock, but This is an even bigger shock and one which I was never expecting from such an active person, she will be missed in this forum not only as a member of the family but also for her work as a moderator. R I P Copepod, may God keep you safe among his Angels.

John.
 
I am truly saddened to hear this news this morning. She was always such an inspiration with her active lifestyle and her dedication to this forum and many other groups and activities that she took part in. She will be greatly missed.
 
Awful news, so sad :( RIP Copepod :(
 
I have spent a restless night thinking about Copepod and her untimely passing, I had never met her, don’t even know her name or her age but what I do know is she lived her life to the full and never seemed to let this condition we all share get her down or stop her in doing what she wanted. It has really brought home to me how we should all live every day as it comes, don’t sweat the small stuff, do that thing you have always wanted to do but were too scared, nervous, worried. That would be the best tribute we could all give to Copepod and her family.
 
This is really terrible news never met her but she was active and full of life rip Copepod .
 
@eggyg you have summed up perfectly how I, and I'm sure everyone else have been feeling and thinking. Thank you for finding the right words.
 
Really sad to hear this, awful. My thoughts are with her family and friends, and as so many have said she'll be greatly missed here.

This is truly sad news.....another forum star gone to soon..........
 
Very sad and sorry about this news from someone very active and supportive to everyone who posts.
I often visit the forum and do not post often or take part as much but I do read a lot and her contributions
are always pleasant ones and interesting to read.

Not sure if it's appropriate but I came across this poem and thought I'd include it.

Unexpected (copyright Josh Whipple)

Every day, every where,
Lives are lost it’s never fair.
You don’t know the numbers,
Most haven’t felt the pain,
Death is no doubt the all time mental strain.
Whether it’s a dog, cat, family member, or friend,
Most don’t know for sure when their life will end.
Elementary school were the hardest years,
I ended 5th grade with 5 times the tears.
Death shouldn’t be joyful, it shouldn’t be funny,
When a friend dies, my day is anything but sunny.
When a family member or friend dies my heart starts to sink,
What were the last words I said, I start to think.
As I take a walk down memory lane,
I start feeling all the emotional pain.
You may ask why I’m writing a poem about death,
For all I know this could be my last breath.
 
I've only just read this - how dreadfully sad :( Copepod, RIP.
 
I'm so very shocked and saddened to hear this :(
How utterly devastating for her family, my thoughts are with them x
 
Oh my goodness, how devastatingly sad. I always enjoyed reading her enthusiastic and inspirational posts. If her family read these posts I hope they realise just how valued she was as a contributer and moderator. Thinking of them at what must be a shocking, sad time.
 
I'm just completely shocked by this news. :( I had several online conversations with her and she was such an active, hard working, thoughtful and caring person. RIP.
