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.

How awful Sad

I didn't know her either, but recognised her username as she was always so funny.

Just tragic.

KnottyAndPistey · 18/08/2017 21:17

No words really are there? So sorry for them all, how bloody cruel life has been :(

Thank you for all requests for a Woolly Hug for her daughter/family, folk want to do something, totally understand how hopeless we all feel, and we hope to make something very beautiful and full of memories from all who would like to help.

Have seen the post from her DH on Facebook now, and in terms of us contacting him, think we need to leave it for a week or so, if you have seen the post he asks for time to grieve and time to make sense of it all. :( Can only begin to imagine what they are going through, just so shocking, But we will.

Sending love and huge hugs to all who love and will miss her. xxx

Just totally lost for words really

Her daughter is 6 and utterly gorgeous, the image of CTK (who referred to herself as the blonde Bella Emberg Grin altho she was nothing of the kind). She was so proud of her.

I remember the cardboard cut out of her fil being served a three course meal story and her neice driving a motorbility thing into a swimming pool on her wedding. I don't think i have ever laughed so much.

Saddened by this news, CTK's posts could always make me smile.

Josiah, I think that sounds like a lovely idea.

LadyDeadpool · 18/08/2017 21:12

I'm so sorry to hear that she brought a lot of joy to people on here. I was always intrigued by her life felt it was so much more exciting than my own. She really did have some wonderful adventures a life well lived.

RIP Keith and my sympathies to those who loved her.

plominoagain · 18/08/2017 21:12

Such dreadful news . I never met her in real life , but her sheer joie de vivre and personality shone through in every single post , no matter what situation she found herself in . I'd have loved for her to be my friend , and send lots of love to all those who loved her .

And you did so much the right thing to let us know . Thank you xx
