Kat and I were in the same homeroom while attending Bishop England. When I think of Kat, I think of two things: she had the kindest soul and she ALWAYS smiled at you. Looking back, she was a true inspiration in finding who she was and being herself, unapologetically. As we approach our 10 year reunion, I will miss her dearly but know she is looking down on us, smiling, in spirit. Gone too soon, but with us forever. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and her sweet parents as their faith is tested during this time. And to Kat, I hope to see you again one day.

On behalf of everyone at Charleston School of Law, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Kat was a beloved member of our community. Kat served on a student committee that I formed, and I always enjoyed our conversations. She cared deeply about justice and her community. Her friends and family will be in all of our thoughts.

Kat was a lively presence in my English classroom and on the volleyball court at BEHS. Her friendliness to and concern for others were much admired. And , yes, I remember where she sat in my room. My condolences to the Westbooks; May you take comfort in memories of her vivacious life.

Kat lit up every room she entered. She never let anyone feel left out. She had the kindest and most pure soul. It will feel so strange not having her next to me in class. I'll miss getting caught up on her life and hearing stories of Boris. I miss her dearly already. My condolences go out to the Westbrook family.

I remember being able to hear Katherine´s laugh from all the way down the hall. It was so genuine and reflected the zest for life she had. I remember her being witty, smart, funny, confident, and a straight ballerrr on the volleyball court. I´d personally not spent a lot of time with her because we were in different classes and extracurriculars but it was clear that she was the kind of girl who was true to herself and worked hard in the pursuit of what she was passionate about.
Sending love and prayers to the Westbrook family. XO.

To all of Kat's family, I am sorry for this sudden loss. I was a classmate of Kat's at the law school, we started at the same time in the Summer Honors Program, and had orientation and Contracts together. She always brightened everyone's day and we will miss her smile around campus. You have my deepest sympathy and care during this hour of need.

I only met Kat a handful of times, but I was always amazed at her unconditional kindness towards others. She was authentically herself--unique, witty, and sincerely friendly. I remember the day we met--she noticed my USC Law hat and struck up a conversation. I was immediately touched by her warmth. I just remember being blown away by her encouraging words and genuine interest in my well-being. She was knowledgeable on so many subjects and was so fun to talk to. I will miss her, as will everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. I am praying for the Westbrook family, the CSOL community, and Kat's close friends.
Sincerely,
A.C. Parham
