I´m Katie from Nottingham, England. Kate welcomed me when I moved to NYC in 2015 for work, we met at the young adult mass. I was only there for 9 months but when I left we kept in touch. She sent me lovely inspirational messages and helped me come to terms with the death of my Grandma in 2020. She always sent me the sweetest messages letting me know she was praying for me and I prayed for her. I´m going to try to honour her memory by reaching out to friends and trying to comfort and support them like she did for me. I´ll never forget her. Sending love and prayers to all her family and friends

I met Kate years ago when we were both volunteering on an event committee for the local chapter of the Public Relations Society. I found she had a tremendously funny sense of humor. We stayed in touch, even after she moved to NYC. I would occasionally receive messages from Kate, wishing me and my family a happy holiday or blessings. She was always upbeat and friendly. She looked upon me as a mentor and I would give her occasional advice. I was so shocked to read of her passing. I am so sorry for your loss. The world was a better place with Kate in it. She will be missed by those who knew her.

Sending healing thoughts to all whose lives were touched by Kate. It was a joy to receive text inspirations from her. Her faith, her delight in prayers and in the divine ( including sending pics of the dogs) was always a wonderful way to start my day. I will miss her.
