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.
BTTT
Thank you for letting us know. I will have a Mass said for Kattracks.
My prayers for her and her family, and thanks to God for letting her do all of the good things she did for us here on FR.

Godspeed kattracks...
John 5:24 “I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.”
May you rest in peace, dear friend, safe in the Everlasting Arms of Our Savior.....
This is the Love of God, that He sends His Love to us in the form of friends...
At last the gift is given back to the One who gave it; Kitty is home, and all is well in the Arms of God.
Go with God, kattracks. You are a true Freeper Hall of Famer. I didn’t know you personally, but always enjoyed your posts and you put up so many news articles that I benefitted from reading. Our loss is Heaven’s gain...
I’m so sorry. Prayers for Kattracks, her family and friends.
Godspeed Kattracks. She will be missed.
Prayers for her family and loved ones.
Our dear Kattracks is in the welcoming arms of Jesus.
We now have a powerful intercessor in Heaven.
Sincere condolences to her family, and to all who knew her and loved her.
RIP Kattracks.
I’m proud to have known you.
Bye Kattracks, I’ll miss you. The words “Be careful” will bring a memory of you each time I hear them now.
To Kattrack’s family. Thanks for sharing Kattracks with us here on FR. I used to wake up, get my coffee and see what Kattracks had posted overnight.
Maybe we will all appreciate each other a little more these days. She would have wanted that.
