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.

V sad to hear this. She was a beautiful writer, she could tell a tale so well, have her audience in stitches. I remember the wedding thread, and the cutout one. She seemed like a lot of fun. Her affectionate anecdotes about her family were so amusing. Can't even imagine how they are feeling. I wish them strength in the days ahead.

Oh, how awful. Condolences at this terrible time for her family and friends.

UrsulaPandress · 18/08/2017 21:47

Great idea MrsK

BeetlebumShesAGun · 18/08/2017 21:48

Just adding my voice to the many others here to say, I always recognised her name and remember lots of her threads. A really genuine and funny poster who will be sorely missed on MN and in RL I have no doubt.

Thoughts are with her family and friends. So incredibly sad. Flowers

So very sorry to hear this, loved reading her posts, so vibrant, RIP

So sorry to hear this news, I didn't know her but her posts were always entertaining and she came across as lovely and kind. RIP.

glenthebattleostrich · 18/08/2017 21:50

MrsKoala, that's such a lovely idea. Would it be possible to do a Hmm face? Or a biscuit. Happy to make a contribution, she was one of my favourite posters. I always thought CTK was the embodiment of a MNetter, just the right side of barmy with such warmth and wit.

Much love to her family, I'll make a donation to the meningitis research Foundation when I get paid on her memory.

WutheringFrights · 18/08/2017 21:51

Such sad news, I loved reading her posts - she had such a way with words and always made me smile.
My thoughts go out to her family and friends xx

Cheekychops73 · 18/08/2017 21:51

So very sorry to read this, didn't know her in RL but read her posts and she was such a brilliant poster that could always tell a story that has you right there with her. Sending my condolences to her family and friends Xxx

Heartbreaking news. My condolences to her family.

CremeFresh · 18/08/2017 22:00

I'm so sad to hear this . I loved her stories about odd places she slept , the last one I spoke to her on here was of her in a tent in the pouring rain. I was on the verge of taking her a bottle of wine and a packet of fags.

BigStripeyBastard · 18/08/2017 22:00

That truly is awful news. A decent person, gone too soon. I shall miss her. My heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved her.
