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.
RIP, kat. Thanks for all you did here and I am glad that I got to thank you when I did. May God comfort your family....
I didn’t know either. My prayers for her eternal repose in the arms of our Lord, and consolation for her family and friends.
My tears are not for Kattracks since she is free from pain and sadness now, as much as for myself, her family, her friends, and her FR family... she will be sorely missed.. another beautiful light gone from our lives.
Oh no, what a huge loss to the world. I am so sorry. May G-d who comforts all mourners comfort all who love Kattracks.
Prayers for all those who loved her.
This ping is for those who may not have heard about kattracks’ passing into Eternal Life.
Katherine (”Kat”) evidentally wished for privacy with her family for the last months of her life, and did not share the information about her true condition.
Her son has posted funeral place and time at #1239.
“May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”, dear dear Kat.
My tears are for me.
I will miss her terribly.
Now I have to tell her adopted soldiers.
Prayers up for kattracks’ family and FRiends.
Special prayers for you Patty.
*HUG*
The world is a better place for having had "Kat" in it.
Prayers going out to her family. It's always so tough on those left behind.
We love you "KAT!!!"
R.I.P. - a good Freeper, now in the presence of our Father in Heaven.
God rest her soul.
Thank you Lord that we may share eternity with you.
Hang in there dear FRiend.
RIP Friend.
HUGS!
Prayers for the soul of Kattracks and deepest sympathies to her grieving family.
Prayers for all...
Oh no!
