I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, haven't been on the org for a long time, but my lovely friend Siobhain 'Syble' on the org passed away a couple of weeks ago... she had terminal cancer and was given a prognosis for this Summer.

I first met Siobhain in Dublin at the non-Prince concert, along with Ruthie and others, we sat around a table in the pub and chatted and chatted about Prince and life. She was fighting breast cancer and had been through chemo, but was hoping for the best. She was then told the cancer had returned and was terminal, but didn't tell me as she didn't want to upset me!! That's the kind of person she was... I had spoken to Syble on the org before meeting her and was a bit scared of her, she was definitely outspoken and intelligent, but in person the most softly spoken, sweet, kind and gracious person. She laughed when I told her I was a bit scared of her!! She was very talented, wrote and had a book published just before she died, organised an art exhibition of her beautiful work in her home town, and was just a very creative and a wonderful soul.

Siobhain seemed to accept her fate with so much grace it was very humbling. I last saw her at Hop Farm and we watched Prince together, she was with her husband and three boys, two young teenagers and her little 8 year old... she was in a wheelchair but was just the same as always, such a gracious, wonderful person.

I hope you will join me in sending condolences to her lovely husband, and three beautiful boys left behind, it just seems very unfair that the best people are taken so young, with so much to give and enjoy in life.

Miss you Siobhain / Syble... xx

poem by Syble®

nothings ever going to change it
nothings ever going to make it go away
nothings going to change

noones every going to know about it
noones ever going to find out
noones ever going to know

nobodys ever going to save me
nobodys ever going to stop it happening
nobody can do that

I cant see tomorrow never mind the future
I cant see the day breaking never mind the future
I cant see my way through the night never mind the future

I cant see how its going to end
I cant see how it will ever stop
I cant see how they will survive

I simply cannot see how nothing will change
and no-one will ever know how I feel as I hide
it too well so nobody will have to suffer
what I have suffered as I cant see
the future, tomorrow or an end.

how sad. RIP for your friend

That's very sad. I'm sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace.

Bloody hell She mustve been super ill as Hop Farm was only July 3rd! I think I kind of remember seeing a lady in a wheelchair too

.

Anyway she sounded wonderful. Bless her!

I'm sorry to hear that. Cancer is such an evil disease. I'm sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for your loss

She obviously was super ill, but you wouldn't have known it apart from the wheelchair, still slim, still beautiful, she was a very attractive girl even with all she was obviously going through... thank you

Thank you all, I'm sure many on here knew her, she still posted quite a bit, perhaps it could be made a sticky so people have a chance to see it, thanks x

And judging by her profile she just missed out on having her 43rd birthday, is that right??

I'm very sorry.

I remember threads about her, don't remember if it was her or you letting us know about her condition. So sad to hear she has passed

Yes, so sad... couldn't believe how quickly it all obviously happened at the end... her husband called me, and I was desperately hoping it was so that she could come down to visit me, but it was the dreaded news...

No it wasn't me Veronikka, I think she found the org a save haven to share her thoughts... thank you xx

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad. ~Marcel Proust

Sad.....

Such a familiar scenario. An orger friend of mine died just 1 1/2 years ago in a very similar way.

I offer my sympathies and condolences. Please be well, and may Siobhain rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Syble.

I remember seeing her on here.

May she Rest in Peace.

I'm sure her family miss her terribly.

Thank you for taking the time to say a nice thing about her here. It's always good to see that a random internet connection created such a nice friendship.
