Dan F Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 This is probably the most difficult post I’ve ever had to make.It is with deep regret that I have to announce that Frankie passed away peacefully last Monday.She had been bravely battling cancer for quite some time, and in typical fashion she never wanted a fuss, so kept it quiet to all but a couple of us.I know that she will be sorely missed here on the forum, she wasn’t only one of our best whipcracking Mods, but a great friend to many of us.Frankie’s family have identified a few charities, listed at the bottom of this post, for which donations can be made in her memory if anyone wishes to do soYou can send your donation via our donations page where we will be collating all monies and sending them to one of the charities as a bulk donation from all of us at BTTB. If you do wish to make a donation by any other means, then please feel free to PM or email me to arrange something.I won’t write an essay, as Frankie specifically stated that she didn’t want a big fuss when the time came - and I don't want her cracking that whip of hers at me again!She was a great mate and I will truly miss her.Ciao for now Frankie.CharitiesPeter MacCallum Cancer CentreAustralian Cancer Research FoundationMacMillan Cancer Support (UK)Cancer Research UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 That's... So... Sad... And... I have no idea what to say... Such a shock, however I didn't know she had cancer. What type of cancer was it? I really don't know what to say... That's so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mez83 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Damn. Damn. Knowing it was coming certainly doesn't make it any easier. My thoughts and love are with the family. She's certainly going to leave a huge hole..... I can almost hear her thinking that making an announcement is too much of a fuss. Crack that whip Frankie!!

Di Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Tom and I, are so devastaed.. R.I.P Frankie Thoughts to Frankie's family and many many freinds. Even thou we have known for quite sometime too. The announcement is still such a shock.. Like Dan and Mez have said, Frankie just wanted to be treated as nornally as possible and still was the life and soul of many, many 'large msn convo's' with admin and mods and me and Tom.. I'll never forget the time we had with Frankie, She was deff one of a kind friend. Di and Frankie's second fave boy aka Tom x x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Karl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I had no idea at all... Frankie was great. She was a brilliant poster, and a really lovely person to talk to.

I love music Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I only decided to check on this site for five mins and never expected to read such heartbreaking news. I never met Frankie exceot through her posts but she came across as a lovely, caring person and a friend to everyone on BTTB. I'm actually crying as I write this. So very, very sad. RIP, Frankie, you will be sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
