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.

Good ideas baby Jesus and RJ.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 21/08/2017 19:49

RJ
I have reported your post and asked if that would be possible Flowers

Questioningeverything · 21/08/2017 19:47

RIP cattheifkeith

Such sad news ☹️☹️☹️

RJnomore1 · 21/08/2017 19:43

This may be a crap idea but I think this thread should be moved to classics so that it can stay permanently. Where her daughter is older it may be good for her to see how many of us her mum touched and how highly she was thought of.

It doesn't feel right for it to disappear.

UrsulaPandress · 21/08/2017 19:41

Good idea.

FruBayerischOla · 21/08/2017 19:13

That sounds like a lovely idea, SBJ Flowers

SeamstressfromTreacleMineRoad · 21/08/2017 19:10

Wonderful idea SweetBabyJebus I'll certainly donate.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 21/08/2017 18:39

Oh no - so sad and a real shock. I loved reading her posts.

Will raise a glass tonight xx

SweetBabyJebus · 21/08/2017 18:33

GirlInTheDirtyShirt and others who have expressed an interest, I am thinking of setting up a donation page to Meningitis Research Foundation in CTK's name so that everyone can donate and leave a message, without linking to her real life details. The family will be notified so that they can see the condolences and how much CTK meant to MNers. What do people think?

dinkystinky · 21/08/2017 14:42

That is truly awful news - she seemed like a really lovely warm and funny lady on here. Her family and loved ones and those that loved her are in my thoughts.

GirlInTheDirtyShirt · 21/08/2017 14:41

Bloody hell, how sad. I loved CTK's posts and the one about her sleeping on a balcony in Tunisia or wherever it was had me in stitches. She was wonderfully bonkers. What a terrible thing to have happened, my condolences to those who knew her IRL. Would anyone mind please PMing me the link to her Just Giving page? I'd like to donate via her page if possible?

Lynnm63 · 21/08/2017 13:03

This is so sad. I don't come on MN so much now since the recent spat on here. I remember CTK getting some stick on here around a year ago and I PM'd her to say I loved reading her posts and I'd be honoured if she were my friend. She added me as a fb friend.
She really was a lovely lady who will be missed by many.
RIP CTK Flowers Wine

Ginslinger · 21/08/2017 12:53

this is just so awful - Flowers for all her friends

NomDePlumeReloaded · 21/08/2017 12:03

What? Really? How awful. Her poor friends & family Flowers and thoughts to all.

TheSassyAssassin · 21/08/2017 11:42

@PlayOnWurtz* - Truly is....hope they are having a damn good AIBU Party together somewhere though!!!

Addley - definitely good for you - and loadsa luck at Uni!

Hulababy · 21/08/2017 11:22

So sad :(

PlayOnWurtz · 21/08/2017 11:05

@thesassyassassin oh that is sad :-(

SweetBabyJebus · 21/08/2017 10:17

Addley that is competely appropriate, and good on you.

Addley · 21/08/2017 09:58

I don't know if this is appropriate, really, but I wanted to say that CTK's death has prompted me to get the meningitis vaccination I was vacillating about - I'm going to university this autumn and they recommend the Men ACWY vaccine for new students, but only for under-25s. But fuck it, I'm going to pay to get it now. Flowers for CTK's loved one's.

CanIBuffalo · 21/08/2017 07:50

Yes it is U.
Very U. Sad

BalloonSlayer · 21/08/2017 00:01

Oh no, terrible news.

I am on hols and have only just seen the thread- have read the whole thing hoping it'll turn out not to be true. Sad

Her poor DH and DD.

If the cat thief in flowers doesn't work as a tribute, we could have YABU in those flowery letters.

MamOfTwo · 20/08/2017 23:52

What a cruel and unfair loss. Thinking of her family and friends. Shocking.

BreconBeBuggered · 20/08/2017 23:27

Oh, no. Can't believe this. Condolences to her family and friends: she was such a bright, funny poster.

RedLemonade · 20/08/2017 22:59

So sorry to hear this. She'll be much missed by many who only ever knew her as CTK. I can't imagine how hard this must be for those who knew the real her. Flowers

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 20/08/2017 22:30

SweetBabyJebus I'd like to think so.

Bless her. Smile
