Kate-It has been months and I only recently found this page. I will forever treasure the memory of your friendship...especially those times over a cup of coffee when we could only shake our heads, or laugh. Thank-you for planting the little seed that became the "Kirkin of the Tartan" service at New St Andrews. When you left our midst-it too became a wonderful memory of happy times shared. Rest in Peace, my friend,

I only knew Kate through the office where I work, but saw & spoke to her often. She was truly a warm & wonderful perso, and I am saddened that I won't see her again. Jessica, you are so like your Mom, and I am sure will pass on many loving memories to Baby Jasper.I cannot attend the service, but my heartfelt thoughts are with all of you.
