Bluebird RIP

[trikey]

I can’t believe I’m writing this but my best friend has passed away this afternoon, as most of you know she has been very poorly following the pneumonia from a cpl of years ago. She was admitted into hospital ten days ago, today the consultants told us they could keep her alive but she would not get better due to the lung damage (both lungs collapsed early last week)

Typical Deb then replied ‘if I’m not going to get better, I don’t want to be stuck in this bed’

Our goodbyes were said and she passed peacefully with her children and me at her bedside.

Goodbye my little rover helper, me and Meg are gonna miss ya, take Tiddy for that long walk in the sunshine xxx

Our dearest thoughts are with you and all the family at this sad time.
Ian and Jan

[ziggy72]

So sorry to hear of your devastating news. Condolences to you and your family.

[marinabrian]

This is the worst news I have heard in a long time.

Anyone who had been in the fortunate position to have ever met Debs, would have been instantly enamoured by her easy going cheerful personality.

She was simply one of those people to whom you warmed to straight away, no nonsense, took no prisoners, yet loving, caring and kind.

Always there on hand to provide help when needed, a shoulder to cry on if necessary in short a truly beautiful person.

I am truly saddened by her passing, it has left a huge void where once there was a effervescent star.

My deepest condolences to Andy, the world will truly be a poorer place without her presence.

God speed my good friend.

Love

Brian and Chris

[Mike Noc]

I am totally lost for words, although I've never had the good fortune to meet either of you I feel I've known both of you for years such is the empathy that I feel.
Andy, Debz may have gone but she will always be by your side and you know she would want you to carry on. Take some time out if you feel you need it, everyone will understand.
RIP Debz, never to be forgotten.

[Bluejon]

Jan & I have just returned home following a weekend in Scotland attending the Helensburgh Winter Festival, we received a call from Actros on the way giving us the devastating & sad news about Debz.

We knew she was very ill but were hoping & praying that somehow knowing the person Debz was would hopefully make a good recovery.

Please accept our sincere thoughts & deepest condolences to Andy & Deb'z Family at this very sad & devastating time for you all.

echoing some of the words from Marinabrian, Debz was all that & more, a truly genuine,lovely, down to earth kind of person who addressed most people I think she knew endearingly as 'Darl'.

So to our Debz, Jan & I wish you [Night Night Darl] you will be forever in our hearts & thoughts xxxx

With Love & Deepest Sympathy.....John & Jan.

[Rick-sta]

Myself and deanna are both shocked and saddened to read this. We're so sorry mate. Thinking of you all during this tough time. She was so lovely and we are honoured to have been lucky enough to meet her. Our deepest condolences.

[roverbarmy]

Deb will be missed by all who came into contact with her. Such a wonderful character and an absolute joy to be around. Words don't seem enough to express what I would like to say. They are stuck in my throat and fingers as I try to type through the tears. Fly high pretty Bluebird we are missing you already. Mike and Lynda.

Just read of your truly dreadful loss, Andy - I am so very sorry.

I hope that the outpouring of kindly words here will help give you some comfort - knowing the depth of warmth and affection from so many people.

Take care, Nicholas

[dave lincs]

RIP Deb

Andy an Deb over the past few years have become very good friends of Myself and Kate and we have enjoyed many a good laugh together for Deb to be taken at such a young age is terrible, Anybody who had the pleasure to meet Deb will know what a great person she was and always willing to help out with peoples cars or in any way she could even it was just to be there for you if you needed anything

For Andy and us all this is devastating news but the memory of Deb will live on for a very long time as she was very special to a great number of people and touched the lives of many who knew her

Dave and Kate

[whitegold]

Andy, I was devastated to hear such terrible news this morning when such a wonderful, bubbly personality has been taken from us all.
This world can be such a cruel, unfair place when someone like Debz is taken so early.
My thoughts and all best wishes are with you and all her family mate, you take care.
Sincere condolences from myself and also Diesel Driver.

REST IN PEACE DEBZ.

So sorry trikey very bad my condolences regards herbert 75 / mark

[bl52krz]

Hi Andy. Please accept my sad feelings to you about Debs. Only just read this and had to read it twice before it sunk in. Just cannot believe how quick it has happened. I will say, Debs, your idea about hanging about is the same as mine.It always happens to the ‘good guys’. Rest in peace Darl.

[Shapfell]

When I read the news yesterday I was absolutely stunned, as was Sharon. We both feel privileged to have met, and been befriended by, Debs; just to say "Condolences" seems so trite and meaningless; you and the family (and Meg) have our deepest sympathies at this time and if you're this way, I'll put the kettle on for you, Andy.

[Nige B]

can't believe the sad sad news Andy ..I am so sorry for your ( and indeed the owners clubs ) loss ..She was a special woman .

I'm just echoing all the other wonderful tributes to Deb, Andy. We've not had the chance to meet, but you both have continually helped loads of members here over time, and so the loss to you is even more tragic.

Just had a message from George (Flyer) and Ann Marie to pass on their deepest sympathy and thoughts and prayers to Andy and the family.

Oh my God Andy what can i say such a shock - she was a diamond.

Perhaps quite fitting on this thread that the milestone 100th post should contain a link to members past, where we can all remember them.

Thankyou for everyone for your kind words and thoughts to Andy and us. Losing Mum is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through, any of us but she definitely left such a big impact on everyone’s lives, that’s some comfort knowing she meant so much to so many of you! She loved each and everyone of you, she loved the club, the meets, everything! She was always happy and smiling! Thankyou for welcoming her into your club and treating her as one of your own, and for giving her an amazing few years of life cause she definitely deserved it.

To you Andy, the man I will always call my dad. You gave Mum an amazing life, you took her on a big adventure and you made her so happy! You loved her unconditionally and god she loved you too! I can’t put into words to say to tell you how you made her feel but you know.

Thankyou guys so much, not just for your words but for your love for her. Some how we will all get through this together��

My love to you all..

A great turn out at the Church Andy - a fine tribute to Debz - fantastic idea to use her ZTT - brought a tear to my eye. Sorry could only make the Church service.

[Shapfell]

You were in our thoughts today, well done, I was crying and laughing at the end, typical Debs, lovely touch using the ZTT. See you soon.

[mor75]

sorry i couldn't make today.. but my thoughts are with you and the family

hope to see you soon Andy

Love from Kevin & Tabby

[stocktake]

A truly inspiring and emotional day, from meeting Debz for the final time at her mums, the drive to the church, packed church and the convoy to the Crematorium.

We were in the middle of a minimum 18 cars and I am sure there were more behind we just couldn't count. We could see the blue ZTT up ahead sat impressively between the funeral cars shining brightly whilst taking Debz on her journey.

Arriving at the crematorium we were greeted by even more well wishers and of course more of our cars, A truly remarkable experience.

The service at the crematorium was especially moving as many of you will have seen. takes a certain type of person to stand up and be so personal at a time like this. Nothing but admiration for both speakers.

Special mention for the Pall-bearers at the church. Unbelievable strength of character, dedication and pride. We could see the all the emotions in their faces, especially a northern tough guy. ;)

Thankyou for inviting us to this sad but special event.

[whitegold]

Truly sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye to Debz in person Andy but I was on surgery this morning. Not managed yet to see service but will try and find it, it. Sounds like a very special occasion, she was loved by a lot of people and will be greatly missed at shows and anywhere else.
You take and look after yourself old son, look forward to seeing you on the not too distant future.
R I P. DEBZ.

[coolcat]

Just watched the service.

It was very moving but also a celebration of who Debz was and what she meant (and always will mean) to all that knew her.

Thanks Andy for sharing with us such a personal moment.

[LucyJaneStearman]

I just wanna say a huge Thankyou to those of you who came yesterday toMums funeral and those who watched! You guys really helped us give her the best send off and just as she deserved!

You guys are amazing! Honestly I can’t thank everyone enough for letting her be part of your lives and travelling this far to say goodbye with us!

I hope she was proud of it all and it’s damn hard without her.💔

[Rev Jules]

What a brilliant accolade for Debz, she was what the club represented, a loved person by all of us, when we met there was always a big hug.
We are missing you already, a lovely turnout could have been a mini rover meet and it was lovely too catch up with old friends.

Rev.

[Gate Keeper]

Thank you Andy for the link which enabled us to watch from Kenya. I remember how you and Deb liked to travel and your friends in Greece, Turkey, beyond and closer to home will appreciate seeing the funeral yesterday, everyone who could not make it, we reach out to you, do take care.

[trikey]

I just want to say thank you to everyone for giving Deb the best send off, when I turned the corner into Debs Mums street and saw all the cars lined up, it brought tears to my eyes.


We then set off for the short trip to the church, when we arrived we were greeted by more cars and club members, and loads of friends from in and around the town.

Deb was then carried inside by her Brothers and Nephew, and by three people that I class as my family, marinabrian, ricardo65 and lordy.

The church bells rang as Deb was carried inside, we sang her two favourite hymns (morning has broken & all things bright and beautiful) beautiful words were spoken from two of Debs daughters and Debs Sister.

Once the church service was completed, it was time for the journey to the crematorium in Scunthorpe, halfway there I looked in the passenger mirror to see the Humber bridge, then looking in the drivers mirror to see the convoy of 75s and Mg’s following, again more tears flowed.

We then drove down the hill into Scunthorpe and that particular piece of road was where Deb was born in the back of an ambulance! Yes.. more tears.

As we were sitting a set of traffic lights, I could hear the familiar sound of a rattling crank pulley! you guessed it she had to have the last laugh didn’t she.

We arrived at the crematorium where yet more friends and family had gathered.

You will have all viewed the service so I won’t say anything about that apart from a huge thanks to Dave for his eulogy, it was hard holding the tears back once I heard his words.

The final blessings were given and we left to go outside to view the flowers, thank you to Mr Stocktake for organising the beautiful tribute from the members here.

I must apologise for not managing to speak to all of you on the day, but once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you all turning up to pay your respects for all over the land means the world to me, she would be so proud.

And thank you to all for tuning on in the live stream as well, we then headed to the wake where we all had more chats, drunk lots of Guinness (thank you all for plying me with this) I drank far too many jagerbombs (My tattooist Jim was to blame for that)

Lots more tears, lots of laughter with mates, and then we headed to Debs local (The red lion) To raise even more glasses to her.

I could not have made it through the day without your support and the support of Graham, my friend of 30 years from Washington.

I have donated the collection form the day to Macmillan, as this is what Deb wanted. Thank you all for your generosity.

If any of you want to post any pictures of the day, please feel free to add them to this thread.

My glass will once again be raised at midnight tonight to absent friends as it always is on New Year’s Eve, this time there is one more friend up there to watch down on us all.

God bless you my little girl from the banks of the Humber, none of us will ever forget you.

All those who attended Mums funeral on Thursday but didn’t get chance to write in her memory book, can you please inbox me what you’d like writing and who it’s from (if there’s a group of you etc) and I’ll be sure to write it in for you!
And those who couldn’t make it/watched, you’re more than welcome to send me your message too and I’ll be sure to write it in there too.
Thankyou again everyone��

Sorry for your loss Trikey - we've only ever spoken through postings and PMs, such as shame when tragedy strikes, especially to good folk.

Looks like a lovely send off though - nice photo too (Dragonby Hill perhaps?)

[chris_b]

Haven't logged in for a long time -- so sorry to hear of your loss, Andy.

And thank you for your work eighteen months back on my CDT Tourer - it's still going strong.

With all good wishes,

Andy Just read this and I am sat here absolutely speechless having first burst into tears. Glad to have met Debs over the years and to have been able to attend one of the meets she put together. Look after yourself.

[The Mighty Quinn]

Very sorry to learn of your loss, Andy.

RIP Debs.


Regards,
Karl.

[trikey]

Well, one year has gone by since Deb passed away, and the world is a much poorer place without her smile.

Please raise your glasses tonight and remember her for what she meant to each of you.

I'm sure she'll be helping and caring wherever she is now as she did when she was on earth.

God speed Bluebird, fly even higher you little angel.

It shows you should value the time you have with beloved ones make the most of it, because you will never get it back.

We miss you Debs to us you were a true and revered friend you always greeted us with a big hug. we shall have that drink and remember the good times.

Dawn and Julien.

[Gate Keeper]

Debs always had a kind word for those less fortunate than herself, she was kind hearted and a fine lady, loved and remembered by all who knew her.

[Wolds_lady_2006]

Debs,

I know you are up there looking down and smiling chuck 😉

I know you've looked after me in your spirit and Andy too.

You're not forgotten but greatly missed ❤️

Never an easy thing to do Andy - but a lovely place for Debs to rest in peace.

Well done matey. It always takes time for the dust to settle but a lovely resting place that she will now enjoy forever. Take care of yourself.

[FLYING BANANA]

The memories will live on in your heart Andy, no one can take that away from you. Rest easy Debs, never forgotten.

[squire]

Always hard to say the last farewell, it's the last thing you can do for Debz and you know she loves you for it. The memories will live for ever, but like a scar they may fade a bit but will also be there.
RIP Debz in your happy place:o

[Azur]

Take care Andy, glad to know you have so many friends supporting you.

A very poignant thread. Wishing you all the best Andy. You're making the right moves. I never met Debz, but feel sure she'd approve and would want you to be happy. You've done her proud.

Our thoughts are with you.
A wonderful place for bluebirds to fly.

Hi Andy. I never met your obviously very loved other half. I am sure that she is with you all the while. You have personal memories that you will go to sleep with. I never had the good fortune to meet Debs, but she sure sounds a love, laugh a minute lady. You have done the last thing for her life wishes. Bless you Andy mate. Sleep tight.

As the clock ticks our time down, we have only memories of those that left us. In time, we become those same memories for others we leave behind, not too shabby really if time is kind to what we leave behind us.
