I just wanted to let you, and all the wonderful people on this forum that my mother considered her friends, Kattracks, passed away yesterday afternoon. She died peacfully, with her family at her bedside. If you knew my mother, you knew how concerned she was with the welfare of others. At one point in the afternoon, we were all gathered at her bed, reminiscing about her,the good times, and all the good things she had done for others. It was as if she had waited for this moment, when she knew that her loved ones were going to be alright, that she was able to let go, and pass into the care of God. To all that knew her, be rest assured that she is waching over you from Heaven. That is just the way my mother was. She always put the welfare of others ahead of her own.
Everytime my brother, father, or I would leave the house, my mother’s last words to us was “Be Careful”. I asked her one day why she always said this to us. She explained to me that in that one phrase was wrapped up all the prayers, concerns, and love that she had for us, but to explain it all to us as we walked out the door would take too long, so she would just say “Be careful”. I’m glad I asked her what she meant, because from that day on, and everytime she said it since then, I understood who, and what, my mother was.
Thank you all for your prayers and support for her.

Original thread:
Kattracks has asked me to begin a prayer thread for her, the hardest thing I have ever been asked to do.
She has had a very frightening finding on a medical exam that is not confirmed and may be a false alarm, but which requires all of us to uplift her to Almighty God asking for His mercy to spare her life or to give her and us the strength and faith to walk the path He has chosen for her.
More information than that I am not at liberty to disclose.
Please ping everyone you know who can pray for kattracks, who was long a moderator on FR and now is the Fairy Godmother of the Merry Band of Patriots.
Sorry.... that should read "a clean bill of health for you".
Prayers for healing, strength and comfort.
Prayers along for Katt................God Bless
" My appetite is good, no outstanding pain or discomfort, other than those ordinarily associated with the "golden years", have lost no weight, and even my stomach/digestion has come around to acceptable standards of action."
That is such GOOD news!
Will continue to hold you in my prayers...
Great news! continued prayers for you! God bless!
Amen,We just prayed again today.
Get well we miss you
Thanks for the update! Praying for GOOD news.
Thank-You for the updates. I will continue to hold her up in prayer.
PRAISE GOD
I just got a call from the specialist. She told me they found NO MALIGNANCIES!!!
Thank you all so very much for your prayers, encouragement and well wishes. I will always believe that it was your prayers and those of my family that is responsible for this miracle after being told four weeks ago that I only had a short time to live.
My doctor told me that she believes there is scarring on my pancreas, and wants me to have some other tests. She is making arrangements with my primary care doctor for those to be scheduled.
Hopefully, these will finally determine what is going on with me and will be dealt with.
I have been on enzyme therapy and that has relieved some of the problems I have been having. I may just have to continue with it indefinitely. I have been feeling pretty good and with today's news, better than ever.
I wish there were words to tell you all how very much your prayers and this thread have meant to me. I wish I could express my gratitude in a stream of beautiful articulation, or at the very least give you all a huge group hug, but all I can say to each and everyone of you is thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I will never forget your kindness to me during this very trying time.
Your FRiend,
kat
Prayers continue.
The Lord be with her.
