A last post from me until after Xmas.

We aren't celebrating this year for obvious reasons but I hope you all enjoy spending time with family and friends.

To increase our upset at the prospect of Xmas some evil thing (not human) has copied Caroline's photo on FB and is using it to send messages to people pretending to be her.

This happened to another FB friend last week, discovered after a message was sent to me. That gave me prior knowledge of what was going on, I assume that her account hasn't been compromised. Until my son can access her mobile phone to check I'll not panic.

See you in the New Year

Just have a peaceful Christmas, although no doubt you will see the grandchildren so that may not be peaceful. I have commented on your upset on FB. Some people are evil but I console myself with the thought that they hijack lots of names so may not be aware that those have passed on. <3 <3

Sorry to hear this Sue! Such a lack of respect and no thought as to how much hurt can be caused by their actions. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas, and know that others are holding you in their thoughts, even if not posting on here. Today is the 38th anniversary of my son growing his angel wings aged 4 months and I find this time of year challenging even after all this time. Take care. <3
