I wanted to take the time to introduce myself.

I am the boyfriend, of a poster on here that went by Katie al Maktoum.

I have been her boyfriend since 2009. I was writing to let you guys know that she is close to passing away from cancer.

Some here might be on the up, I came on here to inform because I know how much she loved this place and her friends on here when
we met.

Shes currently at Baton Rouge General Hospital.

If you want to send wishes, they will be greatly appreciated.

I am saddened beyonfd belief, and dont know how I will get past this loss.

I made her get off of here when we met.

She was a very beautiful and good soul.

In any case, I reached out because I know she had friends here from her Texas days.

Prayers are appreciated.

Don't know your friend or you, but I'm still very sorry to hear what you two go through. I hope you guys get to make Katie's farewell a good ending.

I'm truly sorry to hear this. I've never met Katie, but her presence on the board was always appreciated. I hope both of you are able to enjoy your remaining time together and are able to find some sense of peace.

Sorry to hear. Katie brought us a lot of joy when she was around. We definitely missed her presence when she left. I hope her last moments are peaceful.

Katie was always fun to talk to. I bought a Celtic Frost shirt from her once way back when we were all young and poor. Pretty sure I mailed cash (no checking account, PayPal, etc) and I know I threw in an extra $5 or so because I was always playfully saying I owed different people on the board a drink. Very sorry to hear. Hopefully she’s in as little pain as possible and you’re able to find solace in the good memories you have.

I'm very sorry to hear about Katie. She always ruled and tell her that I still think about the "Total Eclipse of the Heart" duet we had on this stupid board.

I never really interacted with her but that’s truly sad to hear someone suffering at such a relatively young age from cancer.

I'm shocked to read this, and I'm very sorry for what you (and the involved families) must be going through. I can't believe it's been that long since Katie posted with us. Back then, she was a very funny and interesting presence here. I remember thinking that she seemed like a unique, sensitive and very decent person. If there's anything any of us can do, please ask.

This is very sad news. Please give Katie our best. I always enjoyed interacting with her. She had a great sense of humor and dished it out very well. Her presence was missed but I was confident she was spending her time on bigger and better things.

Extremely sorry to hear 😢

I’m pretty sure I met her at least once or twice at MDF but that was almost two decades and many beers ago. I remember her bringing more to the board than many when she was on here, and that’s saying a lot.

Wishing her peaceful and painless times in her departure ❤️

I am very sorry to hear this. I went through all my PMs to find Katie's and almost didn't find them because she deleted her account and they show now as "Anonymous". I am happy she found you and she is not alone in these hard days. I wish I could do more and I hate when this happens to nice people. You will be remembered Katie.

Katie's posts were always quality and her absence here was felt. I wish her well.

Very sad to hear, and very sorry. When Katie posted here, she was consistently one of the funniest, smartest, sharpest people. I’ve thought of her often since she left and how funny she was, and how she improved the interactions she was involved in. I remember we had a thread about a sitcom starring Jofa and Mari, and she came in with like, ten brilliant ideas, and her worst contribution in the thread was at least 100x better than anyone else’s best contribution. She seemed to have a real grasp on her personal moral compass as well, which I always admired.

All the best to you both; until her last breath I’ll hope she has a recovery, but ic not, I hope her afterlife is exactly what she secretly dreamed.
