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 away!
Prayers on the way

My prayer is that the Word would be health to your bones, in Jesus' name.
Notre pere
Qui etres aux cieu,
Que votre nom soit sanctifier,
Que votre reigne arrive,
Que votre volunte soit faite,
Sur la terre, comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses,
Comme nous pardonnons aussi
A ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
Mais délivre-nous du Mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
Pour les siècles des siècles.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces, le Seigneur est avec vous,
Vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes, et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort.
Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

YES, LORD, I agree.
Found this one and it seemed to fit the situation. Prayers up for Kattracks and her family and friends.
Dear Lord,
You know Kattracks so much better than I do. You know her sickness and her need. You also know her heart. Lord, I ask you to be with Kattracks now, working in her life. Let Your will be done in Kattracks' life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, Lord, please help her to see her need and confess. Lord, I pray for Kattracks because Your Word says I should pray for His healing. I believe You hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of Your promise. I have faith in You to heal Kattracks, but I also trust in the plan you have for Kattracks' life. Lord, I don't always understand Your ways, and why Kattracks has to suffer, but I trust You now. May You be glorified in Kattracks' life and also in mine.
Amen
Prayers going up!
So Beautiful, and my Spirit Sings this Song with thee!

Dear Lord Jesus, we pray for your Healing Touch and to give Kattracks strength and comfort in these difficult times.
In Jesus' Name,

kattracks asked me to "please tell everyone on the thread that I am so deeply grateful for their love, prayers and thoughts in my behalf."
She saw a specialist today for a consultation, but the next procedure/test isn't scheduled for a week, next Monday.
(I think we are all also praying for God to sustain us through this time of uncertainty as well as to lift up kattracks and her family.)
A thank you to all of you from me also. If anyone wants on or off the ping list, please let me know.
