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.
What a beautiful sentiment, Gretchen! I never thought of it like that before... inspired... thanks for sharing!

I remember more than one time fighting to get a patient an earlier appointment for a special procedure/test because of the incredible stress involved in waiting to know if the news is bad.
The problem is probably that they are booked solid and everybody else ahead of kattracks in line is most likely worrying, too.
I'm not even family and have a lot to distract me right now, and I am having trouble dealing with this. The Holy Spirit is really needed now and will certainly be there helping to hold this family together.
Keep the faith Kat and know we're here pulling for you.
I'm here adding my voice among the group...

DollyCali, I read the delay as a positive sign. If the doctors saw Kattrack's need as urgent it would have been done immediately.
In Jesus' Name.
