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.
May she be placed with honor on the Free Republic Memorial Wall. Does anyone have a link for that part of FR?
Very sad news indeed. What I shall remember about Kattracks is her very hard work in putting up threads of interest for those on this forum to enjoy. She never had a unkind word about anyone. She was always a positive influence in all that she did.
Prayers up.
Rest In Peace, Kattaracks
Sure do wish I met you when we were at the same rally a few years ago.....Support Our Troops
My Prayers are with all.
Thank you for the ping, Mayor
God, please comfort her family during this difficult time. Kayak, my dear, please guide kat home...
Rest In Peace, our FRiend, and may He bring comfort to your loved ones. Please look down on our brother Tonk and help him with his final battle.
The loss of a friend leaves us with less sunshine. Her light shone brightly. Prayers for her family.
Thank you, Jesus, for an easy transition from this hard life to one where Kattracks is touching the face of God. :*)
We pray now for those she left behind, please, Holy Spirit, comfort them in their grief and sorrow, and heal their broken hearts.
Amen.
Condolences and prayers for the family.
Prayers way up for a good Freeper and person.

Kyrie Eleison.
How heartbreaking!! Kat was such a wonderful person, and so very generous. My prayers are with her family, friends, and ALL of her adopted soldiers. MBOP won’t be the same without her. :( RIP Kat, our dear FRiend.
Katherine, you were a perfect example in our lives, thank you for all that you have been to so many.
And you are our perfect example to enter our God’s Heaven. We will all willingly see you there.
God Bless and keep you always. A prayer to see you on your way to meet God, we trust in our Lord to make your path a smooth one.
I was so sad to hear this news. My prayers are with kattrack’s family.
