Bereavement of mumsnetter Catthiefkeith

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 just caught sight of this awful news on another thread and it made me gasp. I will really miss CatThiefKeith's posts; a lovely, lovely lady. Such incredibly sad news. Condolences to her family and friends. :(Thanks

catthiefkeith you will live on, long beyond your years. A true legend. Taken way too soon. RIP crazy cat/balcony/boat/tent etc lady.
Absolutely tragic.

I donated on the previous one as did others, she truly was a spark of life
How on earth can that be just suddenly gone? ☹️

2017SoFarSoGood · 28/08/2017 17:19

I've donated. CTK will live on in MN's gallery of most loved rogues.

Whattheduck · 28/08/2017 17:29

Very sad i will raise a glass to her tonight x

KnottyAndPistey · 30/08/2017 15:50

Does anyone know when her funeral is/was? Sad

If not right for the thread, please PM xxxx

SweetBabyJebus · 30/08/2017 18:32

Yes, I will PM you.

KnottyAndPistey · 31/08/2017 16:14

Thank you so much xx Thanks

ohfourfoxache · 31/08/2017 18:14

@KnottyAndPistey are there any plans for a Wooly Hug? I'm sure I'm one of many who would really really like to pick up our needles and wool in Keith's memory Thanks

TheDailyWail · 31/08/2017 19:31

I would too.

derxa · 31/08/2017 20:11

I will say this I think that MNHQ email round up for CTK was pathetic.
Sorry I can't knit or crochet or I'd donate in a heartbeat.

MrsKoala · 01/09/2017 18:34

I'm going to order some flowers and take them to the funeral. If anyone wants me to add their mn name I'm going to start a thread and just post on there and I'll add you.

I think I'll get YANBU in letters but if anyone has any better ideas please let me know.

I've already had some pm's so will add those names too of course.

Catzpyjamas · 01/09/2017 21:50

That's a good idea MrsKoala Flowers

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 01/09/2017 23:13

I'm sure there will be many names on there MrsKoala, a lovely idea and will show just how many posters she touched/amused over the years. Truely a poster in a million. I remember her saying her life wasn't that exciting. Nonsense of course, she always had a brilliant story to tell.

mineofuselessinformation · 01/09/2017 23:21

That's a lovely idea, MrsK.
Please add mine.

derxa · 02/09/2017 05:21

Please add my name MrsK

MrsKoala · 02/09/2017 07:26

Will add you all, thanks.

Here is the flowers thread if anyone wants to add a little message i'm happy to attach that as well.

Feeling sad. Been putting it off. :(

KnottyAndPistey · 02/09/2017 10:26

Morning, re the Woolly Hug, we really hope so - we will be writing to CTK's DH via Facebook to offer, this was partly why we just wanted to find out when her funeral was taking place Sad

Planning to write over the weekend, lovely @slithytove is going to be helping us contact him.

SavoyCabbage · 02/09/2017 15:08

I just laughed at the YANBU flowers idea. Perfect.

PacificDogwod · 02/09/2017 15:42

MrsKoala, you are a genius! Smile

I'd be honoured to be added too.

Flumplet · 02/09/2017 18:16

I'm so gutted by this. Keith and I had such fun one rainy afternoon prank calling her boss. She was a diamond and I'll really miss her.

derxa · 02/09/2017 18:21

KnottyAndPistey i always tear up when I see your posts. You are among the better ones as DS likes to say. Grin
