Bereavement of mumsnetter Catthiefkeith

[slithytove]

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 agree that her personal information should not be linked.

The family's Just Giving page is in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation, details below. You can donate in CTK's name via their official just giving page, or also as slithytove said, a CTK specific page could be set up. Does it matter where you donate, as long as you do?

This is mumsnet at it's best and CTK would be so overwhelmed to see this support and recognition - she said more than once most people thought she was a troll!

I wonder what she'd think of all the lovely stuff written about her on here?

So sad, I also loved her posting style.

Thanks for that link SweetBabyJebus

RIP catthiefkieth

I will make a donation to the Meningitis Research Foundation.

I agree we shouldn't link her RL name to her MN name.

I've been PMed the link to her just giving page, I know I asked for it above but that was without thinking about the outing (and I completely apologise for that) so I think we just need to not link to it or send it on to wanyone anymore

She'd probably be thinking 'Bloody typical, why the fuck didn't you ever say any of that before?!' MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig !! 😂

[quote MaccaPaccaismyNemesis]@justinemumsnet Please can we have something to commemorate CTK? Perhaps as some have suggested a round up of the best threads. She really stood out to many including myself as being funny, sharp, warm hearted, insightful and a familiar face to mumsnetters. [/quote]

Thanks for the suggestion Macca - it's a great idea and we'll put our heads together and come up with a plan.

@JustineMumsnet thank you, I look forward to seeing the results :)

Oh no! How awful. I always loved her posts, and she came across as such a lovely, kind person. Didn't she go to visit a fellow MNer in hospital? Maybe MrsK, sorry if I've got that wrong. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed. I'm so sorry .

So sad to hear this sad RIP Catthiefkeith. Hope you and Zombie are having a total riot together wherever you are. Love to all your friends and family flowers xxx

Hold up when did Zombie go?!

Start of the year

SweetBabyJebus I'd like to think so.

Bless her.

So sorry to hear this. She'll be much missed by many who only ever knew her as CTK. I can't imagine how hard this must be for those who knew the real her.

Oh, no. Can't believe this. Condolences to her family and friends: she was such a bright, funny poster.

What a cruel and unfair loss. Thinking of her family and friends. Shocking.

Oh no, terrible news.

I am on hols and have only just seen the thread- have read the whole thing hoping it'll turn out not to be true.

Her poor DH and DD.

If the cat thief in flowers doesn't work as a tribute, we could have YABU in those flowery letters.

Yes it is U.
Very U.

I don't know if this is appropriate, really, but I wanted to say that CTK's death has prompted me to get the meningitis vaccination I was vacillating about - I'm going to university this autumn and they recommend the Men ACWY vaccine for new students, but only for under-25s. But fuck it, I'm going to pay to get it now. for CTK's loved one's.

Addley that is competely appropriate, and good on you.

@thesassyassassin oh that is sad :-(

So sad :(

@PlayOnWurtz* - Truly is....hope they are having a damn good AIBU Party together somewhere though!!!

Addley - definitely good for you - and loadsa luck at Uni!

What? Really? How awful. Her poor friends & family and thoughts to all.

this is just so awful - for all her friends

This is so sad. I don't come on MN so much now since the recent spat on here. I remember CTK getting some stick on here around a year ago and I PM'd her to say I loved reading her posts and I'd be honoured if she were my friend. She added me as a fb friend.
She really was a lovely lady who will be missed by many.
RIP CTK
