Very sorry to hear about your loss HTJr.
Melanoma is horrible. My father had it and battled for 12 months before it spread.

I'm glad your mum had some good Tiger times before she left. Even more glad it was peaceful. Condolences to you and the family.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your mum. Thanks so much for sharing the sad news with us. We're a strange sort of family on here. Strangers for the most part but we laugh and cry and cheer every week as though we know each other.

RIP HappyTige. Love and respect to your family.

Footy brings so much joy to people and it was wonderful reading that story even though in very sad circumstances.

Those of us who have lost family members who bled yellow and black read that with so many memories of our own loved ones.

Thankyou for sharing and much love to you and all your family

As a fellow sufferer of the dreaded melanomas, I can sympathize with your suffering @happytige.
All you can do now is to continue to follow fervently the mighty Tigers in your mother's memory.
My sincere condolences for your loss and hope your dear mother leads the Tiger faithfuls up there in heaven.
God bless

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.

Condolenecs happytigerjnr. I'm glad your mum had such really happy & joyful times at the footy and was able to witness 3 tiger premierships. Forever yellow and black

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.

Best of luck in the hardest of times.

Thank you for taking the time to post @happytigejnr and condolences for your loss.

It's a wonderful reminder that behind each post is a real person with their own story, and we all have a united passion for the RFC that affects all our lives in different ways. As others have said, it really highlights how lucky we have all been to witness our recent success and the joy it provided in our lives, however old we are and whatever stage we are at. I'm glad she got to experience that joy.

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.
