In Loving Memory of Our Dear Lizelle ❤️
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news that our dear @lizelle, founder of the Silver Bloggers community, has passed away following her battle with cancer.
For so many of us here on Hive, Lizelle was much more than the founder of a community. She was a dear friend, and someone whose kindness and warmth helped bring people together from all corners of the world.
Silver Bloggers was something very special to Lizzie. Through her vision and dedication, she created a real community where friendships could flourish, stories could be shared, and members could enjoy the simple pleasures of life together. Whether that meant sharing the odd sandwich or two, reminiscing about wonderful memories, or simply enjoying each other's company.
Her loss will be felt deeply throughout our community and all over Hive.
Many of you will remember our previous update on our dear Lizelle, when we shared news of her health and the challenges she was facing.
Sadly, today we have to share the news we had all hoped would never come.
A Message from Lizelle's Son, Dean
Dean has kindly asked us to share the following message with her friends and the wider Silver Bloggers community.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to share the news that my mom lost her battle with cancer.
Fortunately, her pain did not last very long, and as much as we wish she could still be here with us, we take comfort in knowing that she is now free from pain and suffering.
She can finally rest in peace and be reunited with my Dad, whom she missed so very much.
She was so deeply loved and had the gentlest soul.
This is absolutely heartbreaking for all of us, but I hope we can find comfort in cherishing the beautiful memories we have of her.
For those who are unable to attend her memorial in person, the service will be streamed live on YouTube at the following link:

Thank you all for the love, kindness, and support you have shown my mom and our family during this difficult time.
It truly means so much to us.
A Lasting Legacy
There are some people who leave a lasting impression on our lives, even when we have never had the opportunity to meet them in person.
Lizelle was one of those people.
Through her words, her friendship and her dedication to Silver Bloggers, she touched the lives of so many. She helped build not simply a Hive community, but a family of friends from all over the world who genuinely care about one another.
And that is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
While we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the life of a remarkable lady whose kindness and gentle spirit will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Dean, the entire family, and everyone who loved Lizelle.
We hope they can take some comfort in knowing just how much she meant to so many people across the world.
Our heartfelt thanks also go to Zac (@papilloncharity) for acting as the link between Lizelle's family and the Silver Bloggers community, and for keeping us informed with news and updates about our dear @lizelle throughout this difficult time.

Your ‘tips’ and ‘delegations’ help to support the community ! Thank you !
The “true” way of a community is to support each other, also on Hive. Since it doesn't make sense to wait for the mercy of a millionaire to send us $$$ - we support each other with the best we can.Tipping or delegating is a way to show that you appreciate the work
