Such a sad loss of a cousin, sister-in-law and friend. Some of my earliest childhood memories revolve around the mischief she so loved...that I was not daring enough for! Erick, Janet and Mary...your grief is shared by many.

I knew Kate through the social club we both belonged to, and enjoyed her company on several trips. She was such a joy to be with, and my sympathy goes out to all her family and friends.

Dear Janet,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your sister. It doesn't seem that long ago we met in Hooksett and you told me she was ill. God Bless Catherine and your entire family.
Sincerely,

Janet, Mary & Family - I can not tell you how sorry I am. Katie was the best of the best, you always were laughing when you were in her company. We are the ones that will bear the pain as she no longer suffers. I must believe she is in a better place. It is just so difficult to be the ones left behind. I loved her so very much and will forever remember our friendship.

To the Chalmers Family...
For the time that I knew Kate, I've always considered her to be a very thoughtful and caring person. I enjoyed the fun times we had going out to dinner and spending time with our friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
