My wife Alice and I traveled with Kate on a Celtic Pilgrimage to Ireland some years ago. From time to time we would encounter one another in the Hollywood District where I was rector of St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church. I enjoyed Kate's genuine spirit and wonderful gracious heart. Occasionally we exchanged Christmas greetings. Perhaps it was the Irish side of me that valued our connection and those sacred moments connecting with our heritage.

Kate was a very dear friend who loved life, her family and all things Irish. I'm sorry to have lost touch with Kate over the last years but remember well her sweet Irish wit and love and compassion for her beloved children and granddaughter Catherine Rose. I'm sure there will be grand welcome for Kate when she enters the Pearly Gates!
