[FEMMEFIGHT]

It is with a very heavy heart that I report the passing away of one of our most valuable members of the community.

Brit had been ill recently, for the past couple of months, and had several stays in hospital during that time. She was last active on Freecats on Aug the 26th and one of her very close friends, Mandarin, notified us of her recent passing.

I for one will badly miss Brit. She was one of the cornerstones of our little community here, she had a brilliant sense of humor and the times I "lurked" in chat, if she was there, I would end up finding myself in the middle of a fantastically funny series of debates and arguments with herself, Seaking and others. We also had many amusing forum "clashes" which always brought a smile to my face.

Above all, she always gave good sound advice. In many moderator discussions over various issues, she always brought a sense of calm and level headed thinking into play which undoubtedly helped me and other members of the moderation team. She was an extremely valuable member of the team and spoke plainly and clearly and always with an aim to be constructive and positive.

She cared for and looked after this community, even texting me at all hours of the night to inform me the site was down or the chat was lagging. She was a friend of everyone here, a very special friend.

She will be badly missed by me :-(

Brit's passing will leave a hole in our hearts. She was a great lady who enjoyed this scene with all in our group. God bless you dear Brit.

I had really hoped that this topic was going to be just the announcement of her illness...

I didn't know Brit long but she always treated me with respect and filled chat with energy and humour. The thing that impressed me most was she treated me, a new person with the same respect she showed someone who had been here since the dawn of time.

here's hoping they have unlimited Creme brulee  in heaven for you, Brit

I always enjoyed chatting and talking with Brit.  She kept my spirits up and never had a mean thing to say about anyone.  I will miss very much.

Goodbye Dear Friend!  Goodbye Britster!

Brit was a dear heart. we met many moons ago when I was a newbie...she may have been too. But she was outgoing, funny, sweet, and she never met a stranger. She always had a moment to give anyone a hello. She treated people here the way more should, with common decency and respect. It was a joy to watch her carry on in the main chatroom, and always a pleasure to chat with one on one, just shooting the breeze.

She'll be missed by many , for many reasons.

I have just heard about this truly devestating news. I also was lucky enough to have known Brit very well in my time here and she was the one that welcomed me to the community above all others and was an amazing lady by far the best.

I remember how she was able to enter the room and bring joy in an instant and how everyone knew not to cross her and if they didn't they were in trouble. I honestly feel like my heart has been ripped from my body and since hearing this sad news I have not been able to stop crying 

Brit you truly were the most amazing person I was lucky enough to say I knew even if it was only through this site. I am sure you are already making Heaven an even better place. 

R.I.P you beautiful lady I will really really miss you

I have just heard the sad news of Brits passing, i remember very fondly the times we would chat on Yahoo messenger. She was a very special Lady and i will miss her sense of humour, and i will always cherish the chats we had.
RIP Brit, God Bless.

I never really got the chance to chat with Brit very much but I could see just how special she was from her posts in threads 'n especially the way Joanne would talk about her. Jo always told me that if I had a problem, I should tell Brit 'n she would take care of it. Knowing she was there for us always made me feel safe. That hasn't changed. She's still watching out for us, for all of us, up in the heavens, looking down with a smile, ready with one of those Brit comments to put a smile on everyone's face. She's not suffering anymore, she will always be here with us. I feel lucky for having the opportunity to know her, even for just a little bit.

God Bless You, Brit!

I am devastated by the news.  Seems unreal.  She was always one of the good ones here.  I don't think I ever chatted with her about wrestling or catfighting or anything.  But chatted with her often about everything.  She was a really good person and she will be missed.

My feelings for my lost friend Jayne run deep.  Too deep for words.  I will miss her always and will proudly wear a Union Jack before my name for a year in her memory.

So sad to hear this news. I had noticed that Bit had not been very active in the chat room recently as i only stayed in there very long if Brit was in. As everyone before me has said she was a wonderful lady.She was often willing to speak to me in private, but more often than not i didn't have the time, although we did find out we had similar tastes in music. Brit was a bonus to this site and hope she didn't suffer too much with her illness. It's amazing how close to someone you can feel just by being on the end of a keyboard, and this news has saddened me deeply. There's one more Angel in heaven.

brit and i met in the old room.  Always a friend, always a listener.  She gave more than she received and i will miss her, she was someone that i never doubted. We used to fight over Gman, seems so silly now.  She was a catalyst, a spark for the room. I learned from brit and it was all good.   I miss u sweetie.

[Boche]

I was very sad when I learned this and honestly I'm still touched by the news.  Brit was a great person and I'll always have her in my memories.  What helps to put a balm on the pain is all the good words everyone have to say about a fantastic and amazing lady.
Brit, thank you so much for everything.  You were one of the first ladies to ever chat with me in here and you welcomed me. 
Everyone, thank you  for your thoughts about her.  Together it helps to share the pain. 
Farewell dear friend.

It's difficult to add much to what has been said here already. That so many people have felt it necessary to pay their own tributes speaks volumes to the person Brit was.

That we spoke many times and never once had a single conversation about the subject matter of this forum says it all.

Brit was warm, witty, humourous, intelligent and caring in a place where those qualities are so rare as to be almost non-existent. If that could shine through online, then just imagine what she would have been to like to know in real life. However much we will miss her, I have no doubt her loss will be felt so much more deeply by her family and friends.

Rest in peace, Jayne. You will be missed.
