Hello Punt Road End. It's @happytige's daughter here. After a thirteen year journey with melanoma, @happytige passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning this week. I wanted to thank you all for the countless hours of entertainment and laughs you gave Mum on this forum. Mum's love of Richmond was catalysed during her childhood, when her father would huddle her and her four siblings under his trench coat to watch the Tiges play at Punt Road. Her last activity on this forum was liking a post that read: "A blessing that Benny didn’t get the AFL gig. In Benny we trust." This was fitting, as we had a life-size cardboard cut-out of Benny Gale in our lounge room when I was growing up! Mum and her sisters used to fly interstate each year to follow the Tiges. One of Mum's last experiences on earth was witnessing the Richmond nail-biter on Saturday afternoon. She had Richmond running through her veins and some of her last words in this world were "Richmond! Richmond! Richmond!" after the match. Go Tiges. Vale @happytige.
We all type words on a screen but everyone has a story. Great to hear that this place gave her some joy in hard times.Hello Punt Road End. It's @happytige's daughter here.

We do seem to be a family. Even I now as an overseas PREnder love the to and froing and banter of the forum. Sad news about you mum but we welcome you in continuing the family tradition.Hello Punt Road End. It's @happytige's daughter here.
