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 mothers 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. Im 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.
May God rest her very wise and kind soul.
Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Goodbye, Kat. You will be missed.
We have to be nicer to each other.
They seem to be throwing the Rapture party without us.
I last emailed with the grand Mrs kattracks in December after she had received good health news and around the time of her last post. I am so sorry she had to suffer so much these past few months.
What a great woman who I had the pleasure of meeting in person to freep with. Still laugh to watch her running down a parade route in NYC so we could torment Hillary.
Godspeed to you Kitty and I hope comfort comes quick to her family and friends who had the pleasure of knowing and caring for her.
Same here. God bless and keep you, Kitty.
Many thanks for the ping. Kattracks was very special and it is my guess and my hope that it is now she who is praying for us all. RIP, Kat.
Kattracks was truly a class act, not to mention an indefatigable and thorough poster of articles!
I can remember waking up and logging onto FR, just marveling at how much she'd posted overnight. She (along with JohnHuang2) was one of the reasons FR caught my attention so long ago.
Condolences to kattrack's family and friends.
love
Prayers going up for dear kattracks.
My condolences to her family.
My heartfelt condolences.
Condolences to her family, maybe someone who knows her can print out this thread for her family so they can see how many people knew and liked her.
.
Praise GOD that...
LOVE is the Only Reality and
GOD is LOVE.
How wondrous to see People of CLARITY come to be with that same LOVE...
...forever.
Just like they always knew they would.
.
Now there’s a memorial....
patriciaruth, I certainly hope she’s up there smiling right now.

Count on it.
But her perspective may have changed at bit, and she may be more forgiving now than we are.
Prayers for family and loved ones.
