It is with great sadness that I have to break the news that we have lost our dear Margarete. She died peacefully at home yesterday afternoon, which is what she wanted, after a long and valiant fight with cancer.
It has been an honour to know such a kind and inspiring lady these last ten years. Our Meebs was always ready to help anyone and her generosity during the YDC charity auctions knew no bounds with her wonderful hand made goods and lovely chocolates from Germany.
I will miss you and your wonderful wit so much my lovely aide de camp. Sergeant Major Cornish and your eBid army pigs salute you and will drink a toast to you in the eBid army mess this evening.
