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.

Her stories were full of hilarity, I loved them.

Gosh, I don't 'recognise' many posters on here, but CatTheifKeith was one of the only ones I did.

I'm really sorry to hear this

SandyDenny · 18/08/2017 20:25

I don't usually register posters names but I do recognise hers, sympathies to her family and friends

What shocking news - CTK was a MN legend!!!

Tove - thank you for telling us, I can't believe that such a vibrant, funny mum has left us.

So sad be to hear that awful news. It was the puppy story that I remember most. Latest being the camping in the garden.

ScissorBow · 18/08/2017 20:28

Oh God. She was an absolutely wonderful poster. I loved any thread she started as she just had a real 'FML' dry sense of humour. I was thinking about her the other day too. Sincere condolences to her DH, DD and am I right in thinking she had an older DS?

LooksLikeImStuckHere · 18/08/2017 20:28

She was so funny, I'm so sorry Flowers

gillybeanz · 18/08/2017 20:28

donajimena · 18/08/2017 20:28

I've just seen on Facebook. I'm so upset. She was such a character. Her poor family.

Fauchelevent · 18/08/2017 20:28

I clicked on this thread really hoping that it would be CTK posting for advice on a recent bereavement, or anything other than this :( what a terrible loss. My thoughts are with her. She was truly sad and although we only interacted a few tines, i'll miss seeing her username around the boards.

reallybadidea · 18/08/2017 20:29

Terribly sad news. Her poor family.

Hassled · 18/08/2017 20:29

I'm so sorry - how awful. I always liked and admired her from afar - she was straightforward and kind and funny.

MrsJayy · 18/08/2017 20:29

MrsGotobed · 18/08/2017 20:30

OMG I'm really shocked and saddened to hear this.

She sounded like such a fun person, always in the midst of something exciting , funny or outright crazy.

My thoughts are with her family and friends Flowers x

NoToast · 18/08/2017 20:30

Didn't she steal rescue a one eared rabbit? I always noticed her posts, she was definitely one of the good ones.

So very sorry for her family and friends

Good God meningitis. You really don't know the second. Let alone the minute, do you.
Just shows how short life is.
