I've been shocked and saddened to get a PM from Kathy tonight to say her Mother has just died very suddenly. I had the pleasure of meeting Anne quite a few times during the last year. She was a very friendly lady who was thoroughly enjoying her racing, and Kathy says she was with her only two weeks ago, sipping champers while watching the sun go down. She was certainly no great age, and I shall miss seeing her at Brighton next season in particular.

Kathy, not sure if you wanted a topic put up, but I feel your Mum's as much a part of the forum as anyone else, and I'm terribly sorry for your loss. It was an all too brief pleasure to know your charming Mother.
 
Shit at things like this Kathy, never know what to say. Just want you to know my thoughts are with you.
 
Thanks for your kind messages. It really is the saddest day of my life bar none. She was only 69 and we already had plans for her 70th Birthday next May.

I was expecting so many more happy years with her, and now she is gone forever. It has been a complete shock and so totally unexpected.

She really was so happy when she was at the races, and has been my racing buddy for 4 years since my stepfather died. I will miss her so, so much and for so many reasons.

We went to Wincanton races two weeks ago, and had a great time. It was cold, but bright and we stood sipping champagne watching the sun go down (waiting for the traffic to clear) and that memory (amongst so many others) will stay with me forever.
 
All i can offer is a prayer kathy and my conolences. time is a healer, and look back on the good times and smile.
 
My mammy was 69 when she died. Like you say, Kathy, it is no age at all, far too young. I won't say I know what you're going through because everybody's relationship with their mother is special in its own way but you, your Dad and the rest of your family are very much in my thoughts.
 
Kathy, really sorry to hear about your mum. I cant hope to know what it must be like just now for you. Thinking of you and my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
 
Kathy, like everyone else, I'm very sorry to hear your sad news. I'll be thinking of you.
 
Thank you all so much for the messages. I keep looking in, reading the messages and PM's and it sets me off again. This forum really does come into it's own at times like this.

My boyfriend, has been an absolute star. I really don't know how I would manage without him. My Mum was always hoping we would get married one day as she absolutely adored him.

My cat and my dog have hardly left my side. My cat who hardly ever sits in the lounge (as she doesn't like Barney) is sitting next to me in the lounge purring away as I type. Barney has been sleeping on my bed and is being so loving. I am sure they know something is wrong.

My Mum's favourite current programme is Strictly Come Dancing, so I am watching it now as I taped it last night, hoping (somewhere) she might be too! I am trying to work out who she would have wanted me to vote for.

I have the coroner to deal with and then all the funeral arrangements to deal with BUT knowing there are so many people thinking about us, it will make it alot easier.

Thanks again.

PS I had the police to deal with on Friday and they were absolutely 150%, in fact they were brilliant and made the situation a little easier to deal with.
