mick2me 3,033 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thank You Laurence. Babs I know you girls were friends for about 50 years, you grew up together, and were born on the same day. And I hope you will tell us more stories of your pairs antics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Earlier in this thread I said that I din't know Kat but I have since realised that she and I communicated on a number of occasions as "Carltongal". I will certainly miss her posts and good nature. Sincere condolences to the family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Its amazing how you can feel like you really know someone even if you only speak over the net, isnt it Compo? I allways looked forward to a reply on the threads from kat/Carltongal. She'll be missed by so many. Thoughts and my love are with all family and close friends.

.... 23 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Perhaps, as a lasting tribute, it might be a nice idea to name the gardening forum after Kat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Stu, that would be a wonderful idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Have returned from a few days down south, where I had no internet access. I received the sad news by phone. I have already considered what forum to name after Kat. I thought about the Carlton area, but the Gardening one also sounds like a good idea. What do we think? I will also be tagging her profile indicating her sad passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks Mick. Both decent ideas I think. I'll defer to what others think. My vote would go to the Gardening forum I reckon. Perhaps it should be her best friend, Babs who decides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Its a toughy, she was a carlton girl through and through... But great for giving advice on the gardening side of things. My vote goes to the gardening forum, she helped me & alot of others with our gardening questions etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If there's a vote to be made, at this sad time, mine is for gardening, as it obviously gave her the most joy & will be open to us all to contribute our thoughts in her memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I would like to hear Babs' view before I comment further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Apologies, you're right Compo, I was being a little presumptuous. Babs certainly knew her best.................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 i will always remember kat from our time at carlton but she did so love her little back yard garden and all kinds of flowers so perhaps it would be a fitting memorial to use the gardning section as a memorial to her on here. and yes i will continue to post my memories of cat at school and in these last few years when we met up again and our friendship reblossommed.

piggy and babs 544 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 mick what a lovely way for us all to remember kat . kats date of birth 19,2.1951 date of death 1.june 2012. two dates that will always stay in my mind, i know the first will not be hard and i will always think of kat and the fun times we had together. incedentally kats funeral next friday 15th would have been her 21st wedding anniversary to mick so it will be a double edged sword for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Babs We look forward to your memories and how you both met up again. I only had the privilege of knowing Kat a short time, but was glad of the opportunity of meeting her at the site meet ups. I remember how she told me about an expert in my line of work who was giving a talk at Bulwell library. He allegedly had been doing lots of work in the Midlands area, though I would have known him if he had. I decided to attend his lecture just to see who the hell he was. We sat down and watched as he presented scientific methods of examining crime scenes. Aimed pretty low as it was aimed at 'joe public' He seemed a bit nervous and at the end he had to say, I feel I may know some of you here. Kat was in stitches, and it felt like the spotlight was on me. She put up her hand and drew a big arrow over my head. It turned out I did know the guy, and he was now a University lecturer, in fact the head of department. We chatted for a long time after, and he was interested in my experience, and that I had just been made redundant. I later excepted his invite and was given a tour of his department at the University. He is now a contact who will be useful in my future Business Plan. Thanks to Kat I made a very important contact.

katyjay 5,091 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think they are in the Evening Post, Mick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Whoever going to the funeral, please pass my condolences. What a lovely way to remember her via the forum. Babs, i know its of no help to say this, but it may be of some comfort, remember shes not entirely gone and will allways be around her close friends as well as family. Im sure she'll be suprised as well as so happy to be remembered in such a way by all the forum members who spoke with her on a regular basis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 A nice way to pay a tribute to a member of this Nottstalgia family. Thank's Mick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks all. The length of this thread bears out how highly she was valued by our membership. Even those who did not have the pleasure of meeting Kat. There was a Job Advertised in the Castle Archives, I never applied for it because it would have clashed with some of my Plans. I had perfect experience and would have stood a good chance of getting it. In that case I would probably been working with Kat. Re the funeral Kath, I dont know if the location will be in the post?
