Bereavement of mumsnetter Catthiefkeith

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.

On previous page, SandyMumsnet said they may mention in Talk Round-Up. Could a link to donation link be included on that too to reach people who it may have slipped by?

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 22/08/2017 23:25

Thank you for the link. I donated earlier too.

TheSassyAssassin · 22/08/2017 23:21

I've only just heard the news via a thread talking about vaccination. I don't think I ever spoke to CTK directly, but her posts always made me smile. The sort of post you read, grin, then look at the username and aren't surprised. So, so sad. Her poor family. RIP CatThiefKeith.

Thanks Bigger I've reported my post to see of HQ would support the campaign idea.

Does reporting posts work to get mn's attention?

Could MN perhaps do a campaign reminding to vaccinate for meningitis in CTK's memory?

SoupDragon · 22/08/2017 12:56

This thread has reminded me to make my DS1 have the MEN ACWY vaccination before he heads off to university in October.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 22/08/2017 12:33

What awful awful news. She really was a terrific poster and by all looks a lovely person in real life.

RIP CTK. You will be sorely missed.

ParanoidBeryl · 22/08/2017 12:30

Just adding my condolences. Catthiefkeith was such a funny poster - I remember the weird candle lighting neighbour, and how when CTK locked herself out of the house she hid in the kids playhouse and the neighbour found her, that her Dad owned a bar when she was little and they had a pet goat. She seemed to have such a joyous and unconventional life.

My thoughts are with her family.

StarlightExpress5 · 22/08/2017 12:10

I'm so shocked and saddened to read this Sad
Condolences to all her family and friends, how absolutely devastating for them Flowers

Talk Round Up - email on a weekend rounding up the week...

magimedi · 22/08/2017 11:36

What is TRU?

HouseworkIsASin10 · 22/08/2017 11:27

I'd like to donate. So sorry for her DH and family, such a shocker. Flowers

TempusEejit · 22/08/2017 11:20

Just seen this - what horribly sad news. She will be much missed.

SweetBabyJebus · 22/08/2017 11:07

Great idea Through I've just discovered there is a charities noticeboard. I will start a thread in there and link it back here.

dementedma · 22/08/2017 11:05

Morning everyone,

Thanks for all the suggestions of ways to honour the lovely Catthiefkeith.

We plan to dedicate our TRU this week to her memory and feature some of her most loved threads from over the years. We're always mindful to respect an individual's privacy but if anyone has any threads they think we should include, please report them to us. Many thanks.

We send our heartfelt good wishes to her family at this terribly sad time. Flowers

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 22/08/2017 10:42

I was thinking that too - I only saw it because I clicked back on the thread to read more tributes.
A separate thread with the justgiving link would be more visible I think.
