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.

Evening everyone. We just wanted to let you know we've taken down the post containing the fundraising link. Whilst we know intentions were good, posting the link in this way potentially identifies a MNer and her family at a very difficult time. We hope you understand.

@slithytove

I agree with not outing Keith to her family. Her husband knows, he can share it if he wants to.

That being said, I am sure a justgiving page for meningitis research in the name of CatThiefKeith would be allowed to stand. MNHQ, would it?

Then it can be shared with her husband and it may bring some comfort.

We felt it unfair that her MN and RL were linked, so if you can find a way around that, please do feel free and we will allow the link to stand on this thread.

[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.

Morning everyone,

Thanks for all the suggestions of ways to honour the lovely Catthiefkeith.

We plan to dedicate our TRU this week to her memory and feature some of her most loved threads from over the years. We're always mindful to respect an individual's privacy but if anyone has any threads they think we should include, please report them to us. Many thanks.

We send our heartfelt good wishes to her family at this terribly sad time. Flowers

@Bloomed

Could MN perhaps do a campaign reminding to vaccinate for meningitis in CTK's memory?

Hi there Bloomed,

Thanks so much for the great idea.

We've passed this over to our campaigns team and they're going to have a think about this. We can't make any promises but it's a very good idea and one that will certainly be looked into.
