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.
Praying for you kattracks!!

Much love from just one of the many....
Happy are those who are Strong in the Lord, who Want Above All Else to Follow Your Steps.

They will Grow Constantly in Strength, and Each of them is Invited to Meet with the Lord in Zion. (Ps.84:5-7)
With All my Heart I will Praise You. I will Give Glory to Your Name Forever, for You Love me So Much! You are Constantly So Kind! (Ps.86:10,12,13)
I can Do All Things through Christ Who Strengthens me. (Phil.4:13)
May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Give you Abundant Blessings and Peace-Filled Hearts and Minds. (2Thess.1:2)
Kitty, what profound words, for eventually we will each face the same as Kattracks. At this moment in time we should stay as close to the Almighty as possible with our prayers. May the Lord bless you, Kattracks and your family be given Peace beyond all understanding..

Thank you very much for the update Patricia Ruth.
Hi Kattracks.
I understand how you feel -- not knowing.
I've been going through tests the last couple
of weeks myself and everything is ok -- now,
apparently.
So, let's look to God.
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for Kattracks.
Please guide the specialist
as he looks at Kattrack's condition.
I lift Kattrack's health concern up
to you, Lord.
Your will be done.
In Jesus' Holy name I pray this humble prayer.
Amen.
