Was shocked to hear this morning that Mel Lofthouse has passed away.
She had been unwell for some time after suffering a heart attack 2 months ago, & then some respiratory problems complicated things. I've no idea how old she was but she was no age at all.
She was on many poker forums back in the day, usually with the alias LondonPokerGirl.
If you played Live Poker in the Midlands or North, you would have seen Mel, first as a player, & in later years as a Dealer at various rooms including DTD. She dealt at several SPT's too, including regularly at Manchester.
Sad news, she was way too young.
RIP Mel.

The name and picture rings a bell.
Thoughts to her family.
The gofundme page is doing well on a slightly brighter note....
