I don't know if this is the right thing to do, and I'm so sorry if not.

catthiefkeith passed away today.

I know there are mumsnetters who know her know how amazing she is, and I just wanted to raise a glass to her memory on here, where she brought a smile to so many faces with her stories of her mad life.

Rest in peace lovely lady.

Such sad news. Thoughts are with CTK's dh, dd & her family and friends. Sleep peacefully. Flowers

How dreadfully sad :(

She was amazing, so funny.

Much love to her family xx

This is so shocking and sad. She'll be very much missed.

Sleep well, CTF. Flowers

So sad, from her posts she seemed like a lovely person.
Flowers RIP.

How tragic 😭

wevecomeonholidaybymistake · 19/08/2017 12:00

What awful news. Her threads always had me howling with laughter.

Please send my condolences to her family and give her daughter a big hug from all us mumsnetters.

Oh what sad news, loved cathiefkeith, her posts were great, I once asked her why and she posted a lovely reply. Warmest wishes for her loved ones, she was one of mumsnets finest and she will be sorely, sorely missed.

I've not read all 25 pages of this thread and this may have been suggested ,and may not be possible ,but I'm wondering if MNHQ could gather some of her threads together and message them to someone so that they could be printed off and saved for her family to read at some distant point in the future when things aren't so raw ?

She sounds so witty and lovely and kind and her posts seem to have reflected what she was like in RL .

OneOfTheGrundys · 19/08/2017 11:35

That is such a shock. She seemed a funny and warm person.
RIP. Flowers

GreengageJam · 19/08/2017 11:32

What horribly sad news. Sending my condolences to her family, friends and any mnetters who knew her. Flowers

Groovee · 19/08/2017 11:32

So sad to hear 💔

SumThucker · 19/08/2017 11:31

Oh my gosh, awful news Sad

RIP CTK, condolences to those who knew and loved her.

MrsMarigold · 19/08/2017 11:29

Poor CTF, I remember her, sending love and condolences to her family, especially her children.

MrsKoala · 19/08/2017 11:25

Once i know when the funeral is i will start a thread for messages to be added to the tribute/flowers. Of course the family may ask for no flowers and donations instead to her favourite charities. So i'll keep you posted.

Also lets not forget how much she loved making the skin on her feet rot off. Perhaps we can all do a Footner thread and post pics of our feet as a tribute. I know she'd love that the minging cah!

dementedma · 19/08/2017 11:22

A collection of her posts in classics would be lovely.

SheGotOffThePlane · 19/08/2017 11:21

Incredibly sad to hear this Sad she was such a funny poster - I always smiled when I saw her name at the top of an OP because you knew it would be a good one.
I was one of the posters who phoned up her dickhead boss a few years back to wind him up when she was away for the afternoon.
She will be very sadly missed, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends Flowers

Dragonflycushion · 19/08/2017 10:59

@spiderlight Meningitis Now allows you to donate in someone's name. I put her MN name and said she was from Mumsnet and I didn't know her real name.

MrsMeeseeks · 19/08/2017 10:57

So sorry to hear this. She will be missed.

spiderlight · 19/08/2017 10:55

I think we definitely need a CTK section in Classics. I would also like to contribute to a tribute if that goes ahead @MrsKoala or donate to an awareness campaign in her name. She was a MN legend and her name really deserves to live on in some way.

RaspberryOverload · 19/08/2017 10:50

Thanks catthiefkeith and my thoughts are with her DH, DD and family/friends.

I've always had a chuckle when reading her posts, and I think it was the way she wrote as well as the predicament as well, that made her stories so memorable. So sad.
