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.

This is such a shock. I have read her posts many times, she is one of the few posters that I recognise on here. Are you able to say what happened to her?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 18/08/2017 20:09

It was meningitis and very very quick according to what her DH posted on FB.

Sad Sad

TestTubeTeen · 18/08/2017 20:09

Oh, no, this is dreadful.

She is the poster who was so excited to buy a little boat last year, I think.

Sorry if this is intrusive or inappropriate, but did I miss something? That she was ill?

So sorry to hear this news.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 18/08/2017 20:09

Oh my goodness, a well liked poster she was always such fun Flowers

ZeroFuchsGiven · 18/08/2017 20:10

Oh my, this is awful.

She always had some amazing stories to tell. Flowers

slithytove · 18/08/2017 20:10

Very sadly, yes it is true.
It was very very quick, of meningitis.

Yes, she has a young daughter.

She was a friend to me in really bad times. I treasure her and this is such a loss.

Nooo!! What, why, how? I've not really been on here much these days, but she was one of the few posters who I admired.

Meningitis is an utter bastard.

:(

RJnomore1 · 18/08/2017 20:11

She wouldn't know me but I was actually thinking about her last night, I thought she'd gone too in all the kerfuffle recently. Or name changed Her bonkers neighbour and the holiday she slept on the balcony - funny and down to earth.
I was already missing her.

slithytove · 18/08/2017 20:11

RJ, that is exactly how I reacted when I found out. It doesn't seem real. Or fair. So young with such a young family.

I was just wondering about her the other day as I saw a nn that was sort of similar.

How terribly sad, especially as she leaves behind a young dd Sad

Oh no I'm so sorry I definitely will remember her as a lovely funny poster. Flowers for her family.

TeaStory · 18/08/2017 20:12

No! Oh god, how awful. She lived not far from me and we spoke over PM a bit. I don't know what to say, I just want to sob.
