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

ScribbleJoy · 18/08/2017 21:48

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.
