So many memories flooding back of my early friendship with Kate, mischievous, always smiling, wise way beyond her years and able to cast a spell over all who met her. Our friendship spanned decades, she was my bridesmaid and godmother to my daughter. She was heartbreakingly courageous, graceful and a force of nature, she loved people, animals, nature and was incredibly creative, an internally beautiful inspiration to me and a credit to womankind. “Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.”
