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.

Prayers for Kattracks and family.

[elk1]

Godspeed, faithful servant of the Lord. Our prayers are with you.

[GVnana]

So sorry to hear of it. Kattracks always gave the straight story and was one of my favorite posters.

[CJ Wolf]

Amen.

[JustPiper]

When I saw this thread I was stunned and very sorrowful.
Kat & I are old timers here and when I saw her posts they were the first I went to, her’s and John’s.

I pray she is at peace, she is one of the finest Freeper’s and an amazing contributor to what Jim started here many moons ago.

I know she is an angel, I just know it

Ah my friend, as always we are on the same wavelength

[Lancey Howard]

kattracks was always one of my favorite freepers, and I fondly remember greeting her regularly every night (usually very late) when she would post a whole lot of news story threads. I will miss her.

May God be with her family and friends, and may she rest in peace.

[Cindy]

I will pray for Kitty’s family.

Thank you JP.

With a name like 'Kitty Donelan'; is it any wonder she walked with loving friends; shared the timeless love of family; and impacted so many here at Free Republic. . . Knew her only through her postings; and could feel the light she carried. Had we met, know I would have seen that light in her eyes. I am so very sorry. Prayers for Kitty Donelan - for Kattracks - prayers for her family and all who knew and loved her; and always will.

[AliVeritas]

To Frankie,

I will make sure from this day, to tell my children to be careful ‘every time’ they’re on their way out. Kattracks lives on.

We all have help in heaven now.

Eternal rest grant unto her,
and let eternal light shine upon her;
May the soul of Kitty,
through the mercy of God rest in peace.

I pray for strength, comfort and courage for the family.

Introitus

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam;
ad te omnis caro veniet.

Kyrie

Kyrie eleison.
Christe eleison.
Kyrie eleison.

Offertorium

Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas defunctorum
de poenis inferni,
et de profundo lacu.
Libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum.
Hostias et preces tibi,
Domine, laudis offerimus.
Tu suscipe pro animabus illis
quarum hodie memoriam facimus.
Fac eas, Domine,
de morte transire ad vitam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti,
et semini eius.

Sanctus

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra
gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.

Pie Jesu

Pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem,
requiem sempiternam.

Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem,
requiem sempiternam.

Lux Aeterna

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Libera me

Libera me, Domine,
de morte aeterna,
in die illa tremenda
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare
saeculum per ignem
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo
dum discussio venerit,
atque ventura ira.
Dies illa, dies irae,
calamitatis et miseriae,
dies magna et amara valde.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

In paradisum

In paradisum deducant te angeli,
in tuo adventu
suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te
in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the (child) of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds....
His love endureth forever.
