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.

I was just thinking about her yesterday, and wondering where her posts were.

How dreadfully sad.

Oh no!
I'm so so sorry to hear this awful news.
Condolences to all who knew and loved her x

How awful. Sending my condolences to all of CatThiefKeith's friends and family. Especially her husband and little girl.

It's just so so sad.

I'm sorry, I know that's not appropriate, but. it's Keith. She can't be gone.

Im so sorry For all of you lucky people who knew her in RL. I wish I had.

What a terrible shock.

I loved her posts over the years. Her threads were hilarious. She was one of my favourite mums netters. I never met her but I certainly will not forget her.

Sending love to her family and those close to her at this very sad time.

SnowBodyforrrrm · 18/08/2017 20:54

How absolutely dreadful. Massive condolences to her family 😢

I can't quite believe this.
I've read so many of her posts even quite recently?
Awful and so, so sad. RIP Flowers

ladygracie · 18/08/2017 20:55

How utterly utterly awful. So very sad.

slithytove · 18/08/2017 20:55

No, not hacked. Others will have seen it now on Facebook. Honestly at first I thought, hoped her account had been hacked. But no.

I am so sorry for posting the thread as well, I felt like she is such a big part of this community, people should know, and share stories and be able to miss her - but maybe it was the wrong thing to do. I wanted to talk to people who knew her in the same way I did. Here, online, maybe at meet ups.

What sad and shocking news. So sorry to hear this.

LookImAHooman · 18/08/2017 20:56

I'm so, so sorry. Utterly horrific.

ColossalKalamari · 18/08/2017 20:56

What absolutely terrible news...i never spoke to her but she seemed so bubbly and warm and so naturally funny that once I read an op and realised it was her I'd settle in for a good read. Condolences to all her friends on here and to her family...mn will be a poorer place without her x

tigerdriverII · 18/08/2017 20:57

Very sad news. She did good posts.

RIP Keith x

LegArmpits · 18/08/2017 20:59

Very sad. Will raise a glass to funny CTK.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 18/08/2017 20:59

I'm so sorry Slithy. I loved CTK's posts, they always made me laugh, she had a brilliant writing style.

RIP CatthiefKeith.

slithytove · 18/08/2017 20:59

I used to read an op, and go in my head, no way, must be a troll.
Realise it was one of Keith's and go, oh yes, this will be good.

She was amazing to talk to and read her stories.'

And she was so kind. She volunteered, did loads for charity, loved animals, especially the less beautiful or able ones.

She was so kind to me.

Oh no Flowers . She seemed to brim with personality and life.

Love to all those that knew and loved her, online and in real life.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 18/08/2017 21:00

That is so incredibly sad. She was a good egg.
