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 up for Kattracks!
Dear Lord Jesus,
We pray you would touch and heal her. We pray for strength and comfort for her family and friends. We pray that she knows salvation and that her family does to.
In your Holy Name,
Amen
Prayers going up for Kattracks . Also for her family

Oh man, this breaks my heart. She is the best.
Prayer bump.
Dear Lord, please heal and restore your beloved Kattracks if it be thy will, but if your will is to call her home now, please show your great mercy and comfort to her and her loved ones. In the name of Jesus, Amen
Same for me and I had noticed she was missing. So sad - may she just fall asleep in the arms of our Lord and awake to new life.
I am joined with all the others here lifting you up to God for His mercy, peace and blessing - and likewise lifting up all of your loved ones and friends as we stand with you through all of this.
Prayers for Kattracks and family.
Kattracks, may the Lord be watching over you.

I’m so sorry to read this, I knew there were concerns.
For so many months I’d look every morning for kattracks posted threads. Kattracks found the MOST interesting articles, always awaiting me as I sat down with my morning coffee.
Dear Lord, we ask your mercy on our FRiend kattracks. If it be Your Will, heal her from this affliction, but if that is not Your plan, please allow her to gently and easily slip from this earthly life into Your Everlasting Arms. Please bring comfort and blessings her kattrack’s family and friends.
In Christ’s name, amen
Prayers going up for all — Kattracks, family and the FR family!!
May God bless Kattracks and her family.
