UPDATE: We received this from her son early this morning.

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.

Frankie

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.

“Kattracks is a longtime supporter and FRiend of FR. She has been here from the start and one of the main reasons FR is the forum that it is.”

Yessir or ma’am...

She was such a prolific poster.
She has my total respect.

Dang!
This is a hard one to take.

Please....tell kattracks that I’m praying for her,
and that I miss her posts.

Please tell her that she’s one reason I’m here.

I wrote her when I was a n00b and told her that I appreciated her posts.
She was kind enough to respond.

Damn...I was right-headed. ;o)

Love YOU, kattracks!

I searched for her screen name just a couple of days ago to see if she had posted any messages recently, and was sad to see that she had apparently been unable to. I join the prayers for her and her family.

May God welcome her home.

Amen. 1032 suggests the situation is dire.

Her loss, if it's her time, will be felt heavily indeed here at FR.

I’ve been out of pocket for several months, and just saw this. Didn’t get a chance to read the thread yet, but definitely wanted to lift Kattracks up in prayer!!!

I've said this before and I am happy to say it again.. Having survived 2 rounds of the dreaded “C”, I can tell you that I was told to settle my affairs twice.. So far the only thing that has happened to me is, I must be the most organized Italian in history.. As for my affairs, (eyes rolling) I have been pursuing as many as I can handle.. HA!

Truth is the affairs may do me in before anything else can take hold.. God bless you dear girl, you are in my prayers.. :)
