Dear. Kate,
I will always remember how much fun we had when we shared shifts in the Restaurant. Your vivacious personality and your excitement for life. You always shared kind words to me and always took the time to see if I was doing okay. Words can't heal a wounded heart, but I hope your family can find some comfort in how much people loved you and cared for you in your time on this world, on the people you touched and the impact of it. That is your legacy. Rest in love my dear friend. I'll see you once again when the time comes.
