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.

Frankie

---------------------

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.

Dear Frankie,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. Kattracks was a voice of reason on this forum, and will be sorely missed.

Prayers for peace and comfort for you all.

JH2, you and she were the reason this boat floated after midnight EST.
You two were the main reason I signed up, too.
The folks during the day scared me a little bit. ;o)


REST IN PEACE, KATTRACKS

WE WILL MISS YOU!

God be with Kattracks family and loved ones. And thank God that she touched all our lives here on FR.....and did her part to fight the good fight for truth and righteousness. God bless her in heaven.

We see her departing as Heaven sees her approach.

Farewell, sweet lady. And angels speed thy rest.

Dear Patricia,

I am so sorry to hear we lost Kattracks and you have lost part of yourself. Your mother’s intellect and reason were considerable, and her posts have been read by tens of thousands of people on Free Republic and other internet forums. She was well respected, even by the liberals she often debated in chat rooms where I first talked to your mom many years ago.

I am so sorry for your loss but remember always that your mom did help us make a difference. She was a warrior for common sense and decency. A noble spirit who would not run from a fight when her ideals were challenged. She was, in every senese of the word, a patriot.

I lost my own mom to cancer fifteen years ago but I will never forget the hurt. May God bless and keep you while time erodes the pain, and it will.

With My Deepest Sympathy,

Charles McFarling
Indianapolis, IN

kattracks was the mother of Frank and Douglas, not me.

I was one of her many internet friends. We have not lost her, but we miss her terribly.

Thank you for expressing your admiration for her, which we all share.
