    Yes, but maybe wait for a while before getting something organised. Let people show their appreciation with their words and thoughts for now, then arrange some type of donation or similar in a week or two. :)

    What can I say. No words can describe the feelings for this person we have lost.
    Right now our condolences to Russ and family.

    I'm newer to the forums and I don't post alot (I just read and lurk). However from the moment I joined and started reading posts I pretty soon worked out that if I wanted a fair and honest deal Maggie was the one to talk to. This resulted in her being the sole person on the forum I have done deals with. She was always fast to reply and problem solve and very honest and upfront.

    Just the face that so many have good things to say speaks loads of her character, just like it spoke to me when I first joined.

    Thank you Russ and family for sharing an insight into her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

    Maggie was a treasure far surpassing anything we could stack.

    My deepest condolences to the family. I did quite a bit of transactions with Maggie, even we had a nice phone conversation once regarding my family. I am so sad. This year has been very sad in many ways. :(

    Before i even new silver stackers existed, i was asking around for ebay for help with things. Maggie was the first one to stand out and was the most welcoming and caring! I did my second ever silver purchase from her through eBay! (2 ounces) She was so kind and honest and very very cheerful! Just the way she packed all of her packages with lots and lots of bubble rap and often drew a smiley face or wrote a little message made me smile. Thanks Maggie

    Rest In Peace Maggie :)

    silent tears here for one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
    I am genuinely crushed.

    I remember day 1 here, I was trying to sell a 1kg pamp without formerly introducing myself and got the Spanner treatment, rightly. I didn't know what to make of it but then came Maggie with the big welcome and explained everything. She introduced herself and told me if I ever needed anything just ask.
    I did and have countless times since.
    I'll remember the times we bickered as i tried to pay for the free coin capsules she sent me and I'll always admire her ability to find a rare piece I was after for no other reason than to help me. I never asked her to but as soon as I posted a WTB thread Maggie was never far off with her PM.

    I can't begin to explain how much she will be missed, but thanks for everything Maggie - you're the best.

    My condolences to Russ and family.

    Wow I'm shocked by this tragic news. Maggie really was a large part of this forum. Always willing to go out of her way to help and was always one of the first people to greet new members to make them feel welcomed. My condolences go out to her family
