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.

Be still my soul: the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Prayers from the heart that our heavenly Friend will restore to health our dear freeper sister, Kattracks.

Kattracks is a longtime supporter and FRiend of FR. She has been here from the start and one of the main reasons FR is the forum that it is.

"...who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14b)

Surely God has His benevolent hand in the timing and affairs of men. Psalms 1, 23 and 90.

I love the hymn, also, Dolly.

"Be Still My Soul" is often called "the perfect hymn".......the consumate marriage of simple, moving, hope-filled words with hauntingly-beautiful music.

The words were written by a German noblewoman in the 1700's. They were translated into our language 100 years later by an Englishwoman.

The music was written in 1899 by Finland's greatest composer, Jean Sibelius. The tune comes from a movement in his world-famous suite, "Finlandia".

These three contributors of different nationalities in a time frame spanning several centuries used their talents to bring us this "ultimate" hymn in its final form.

The Lord moves in wonderful musical ways!
