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.
We're still praying for you Kat.
Very encouraging news, my friend! More prayers on their way. Please keep us posted.
Prayers up for kattracks.
Heavenly Father,
We come to You in prayer to ask that Your healing hand touches upon the life of this child of yours. Bring to her healing of body, mind, and spirit. Remove from her all ailments so that she may go forward to continue doing Your work on this Earth. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
I am praying in the name of Jesus Christ for healing for her.
Sounds pretty good, huh? Continued prayers for you, strong girl!
Jehovah is my Rock,
My Fortress and my Savior.
I will Hide in God,
Who is my Rock and my Refuge.
He is my Shield
And my Salvation,

Keeping you in my prayers as you continue your diagnostic tests. Keep the faith!
Prayers continue for you and for good news.
Holding her in prayer.
Such great, GREAT news Kattracks. Believing for more of same.
What's also promising is that there are no hallmarks for malignancy. As my doctors told me when I was diagnosed, if the indicators say "no" or "maybe," then the likelihood of the tumor being malignant is negligible to nonexistent.
Hang in there, kiddo! If a grumpy ol' fart like me can kick this, I know you'll do great.
Prayers for you going up! Please keep us posted.
