Posted 9 March Oh. I assumed she would be on TT forever. She was fab. Condolences to all of the family, particularly our own sarabyrd. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 March She had such interesting life experiences, and is just 7 months younger than my mom. She was very encouraging to me when I spent all of last November in Colorado helping my mom recover from a bad spell. I guess I just assumed she’d recover from her bad spell too. 🙁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 March Very sad news. My heartfelt condolences to her family. I very fondly remember Katheliz. She once offered to cyber adopt me when I was having terrible issues with my mum. A very nice lady. RIP dear Katheliz. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 March Sad news. Condolences to Sara and the rest of the family. I still have the PMs that katheliz sent me, asking if I was OK after the 2011 earthquake in Japan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 9 March Oh dear, this is sad news indeed. I was thinking of her yesterday, since she hadn't been on here for a while, again. But this time it wasn't her TT account signing in that kept her away, then. She will be sorely missed, on here and by her family and friends everywhere. Thank you, Katherine Elizabeth, for being a role model. I want to be like you when I "grow up". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 10 March She will be sorely missed. Such a great woman, mom and friend. She was so happy being around her family and especially when Sarabyrd visited and spoiled her. I will miss our PM's very much. Always wished my mom was like her. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 March I never met katheliz in person, but liked her very much. Wonderful wit, unparalleled mental acuity, kindness and graciousness paired with a sharp tongue. She was the old lady I aspire to be some day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 11 March kathleen was such a beautiful soul, smarter than all of us put together ten times and a total feminist badass. Always standing up gently but firmly for justice and equality. Wicked wit and wry, succinct style of making her point. She had led several lives learned from each one, rectified her mistakes and oversights and passed this hard-learned knowledge and wisdom on to others. A true treasure of a human; I admired her immensely. Her intellect, her warmth, her frankness. I am of course sad for her family members who survive her, but, selfishly, I am also quite sad for those of us who didn't get to say goodbye. Kath, if you can see this--travel in power and know how much of an impact you had on my, on all of our lives. We will miss you. Until we meet again. <3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 March Just one thing more that I forgot - she was extremely well read; she had literature at her fingertips and could come up with a suitable quote at any given time. I did and do admire that. And she passed it on to her children. I do feel for you; Sara, Alphadog and all, but surely you take comfort in knowing what a full life she must have had. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
