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.

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.
Thanks for the update... will continue praying as long as needed...

O Lord, hear our prayers for our dear FRiend, kattracks. We know patience is a virtue that adorns women Lord, but sometimes it is hard to patiently wait for news of this kind. Please be with kattracks and give her courage and comfort as she awaits the outcome of her medical tests. Bless her friends and loved ones as they stand by her side. Strengthen their resolve to face this challenge. As always we pray for your will to be done and for your grace to deliver us.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Please keep me posted.

The waiting is awfully hard. May kattracks and her family strenghten each other during this time. And may the good Lord lend his healing ways to the tests, so that good news will be the answer. May the good Lord also give kattracks strength - whatever the outcome.
