I met Moon many moons (!) ago on a weekend creative writing course in Horncastle. We have always kept in touch. I knew she had been ill and had been having radiotherapy, as she had sent an email, but her death was unexpected.
She wrote in an email from February:
I still have so much to offer the
world! I want to enjoy all the littlest things from delighting in
nature, going for a coffee with friends, sharing trips out with Eddie,
playing bridge, and reading books to fulfilling all my ambitions to see
another of my novels in print and going abroad again.You can help me do all
this, for I believe the power of prayer and thought can indeed move mountains
and together we are strong.
Goodbye Moon. You will be sadly missed. Xx
