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.

Sad may she rest in peace. How shocking. Her stories about her days were always so interesting and couldn't make it up funny. My thoughts are with her family Flowers

Ok slithytove I'll pm them this eve, I didn't know keith but always enjoyed her posts. Can I gently ask who I can direct K&P to as a contact when the time is right?

NoWordForFluffy · 18/08/2017 20:39

Oh goodness, how awful.

I loved reading CTK's stories from her amazingly colourful life; she had such an engaging way with words.

I never posted on her threads, but loved reading them. She'll be really missed by so many.

Condolences to her family and friends. RIP CTK. ❤️

StealthPolarBear · 18/08/2017 20:40

What the hell?!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 18/08/2017 20:41

This is extremely sad news; she was such a prolific poster and was so full of life.

I'm very sorry to hear this Flowers

nothruroad · 18/08/2017 20:42

So sad to hear this. CTK made me laugh and made the world a brighter place.

Bubblysqueak · 18/08/2017 20:42

Such sad sad news Flowers condolences to get family.

Josiah · 18/08/2017 20:42

We didn't always see eye to eye but she had a terrific sense of humour and from her posts you could build up quite a picture of her and her life in her village. I think she will be missed by a whole community as well as her loved ones.

Do you remember when she made the newspapers when she was drink and woke up in th morning to find she'd video on some Japanese ornate eggs but couldn't remember?

It was hilarious.

Must of been a terrible shock for her loved ones.

Meningitis is such a cruel infection when it strikes.

RIP catthiefkeith.

DudeHatesHisCarryOut · 18/08/2017 20:42

I sent a FB message to WoolyHugs as soon as I read her DH's announcement. Hope that was ok.

Veterinari · 18/08/2017 20:43

I'm so sorry Slithy
Utterly shocked. Keith was always such a warm, fun poster - her stories of her dickhead boss, lovely dog and bonkers neighbours were always so genuine and amusing.

Her poor poor family Flowers

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 18/08/2017 20:43

Oh no, I'm really saddened to hear this!

lucysmam · 18/08/2017 20:43

Rest in Peace CTK, you'll be missed Sad

Rafflesway · 18/08/2017 20:43

Good God! I am just totally lost for words!

What a horrendous thing to happen to such a lovely family. So unfair!

just cannot believe what I am reading! RIP Keith - a well loved fellow Mnetter. Flowers

mineofuselessinformation · 18/08/2017 20:44

I never knew her in RL, or even interacted with her much on MN, but I 'knew' her here - one of the true characters.
That's so sad. Sad
I can't even bring myself to say RIP, because she was far too young to go.
My utmost sympathy to her family and friends. Xxx

Damn. I'm sorry to hear this. So sudden. I remember her trapped on a crappy holiday in Tunisia on a hotel balcony with only a scabby wild cat for company. My condolences to her husband and children - this must be such a shock.

mejon · 18/08/2017 20:44

Oh my goodness me. What awful news. Her posts were always so entertaining. Condolences to her DH, DD, family and friends.
