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.
Godspeed to our FRiend, KAttracks. I’ll miss her terribly...
Kattracks was truly a class act, not to mention an indefatigable and thorough poster of articles!
I can remember waking up and logging onto FR, just marveling at how much she'd posted overnight.
She (along with JohnHuang2) was one of the reasons FR caught my attention so long ago.
My prayers go to her family and friends.
FR's loss is Heaven's gain.

Never a bad word for anybody, the world could use a billion more of her kind.

God Bless Kattracks and her family.
A quick look at Kat’s posts tells you just what a wonderful person she was.
Always concerned for others. Always praying for the well being of her fellow man.
She will be missed here, but she must surely be in Heaven with the angels.
God bless kattracks and her family. Prayers going up to her and her family. I lost my mom in December to pancreatic cancer and she, too, had all of us with her when she passed.
Ping.

You are free and with the angels. Prayers for your family
