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.

So very sad to hear this awful news. I have just told my husband about her spending the night in the tent after being locked out of the house! RIP CTK xx

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 18/08/2017 21:10

How very very sad. What a hold she leaves behind

Meningitis. Awful. No warning, just swoops in

I never knew Carh beyond here.... don't know if she was actually a Cath or not. But I have an image of her in my head. Hope she rests in peace

*Keith!!

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

GriefLeavesItsMark · 18/08/2017 21:12

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.

DaisysStew · 18/08/2017 21:13

Condolences to her family at this awful time.
