        Very sad news to receive. I never had the pleasure of meeting Beckie but enjoyed her posts about her chickens and garden. A bubbly life lost too young. Rest in Peace.

                I know what you mean @clanless If we're finding it hard to comprehend, goodness knows how Kevin and her family are doing. It's so very sad.

                Sending lots of hugs to everyone. xx

                  I'm sure that "M" wouldn't mind me dedicating this to our Beckie. Shineyland in May 2013, laughing and giggling like school kids over a " double entendre" we were. It still brings a sad smile to my face - even now,
                  Enjoy your chooks and your garden in Heaven Beckie,
                  Jenny

                        From the information that we have from her family, it was not Covid related at all @Redwing, just one of those very sad events that come along without any warning at all. Thankfully her illness was very brief.

                            So sorry to hear this. We remember her well from when we visited shineys in 2013. So ‘bubbly’, friendly, enthusiastic and full of life. Her character shone through in her posts. Hard to believe she’s gone. Our condolences to her family and friends.

                              Having just come back from nearly two weeks of fishing to stumble onto this awful, devastating news it has stunned me.
                              Beckie and I had been swapping pms ever since she joined and when we first met at Shiney's Open Day she came up and gave me a great big hug with that big smile and natural friendliness that was her marker. When she sat with people she had them laughing and smiling just by the fact that she was with them and she always had that sparkle in her eyes and smile that just warmed people to her without reservation.
                              All I can say, at the moment, with the shock of her passing still with me, is that I know that this World is a far sadder place without her, and I send my sincere condolences to Keven and her Family.
