Dear Kate was an inspiration in our neighbor while we shared the joys and challenges of raising children. Kate's effervescent enthusiasm for fun and creative energy gave us many memorable gatherings. Kate was always the willing and gracious hostess. To John and the rest of Kate's family- we are so saddened by Kate's untimely passing and hope you find comfort in knowing she touched many lives.

Blessings to you, dear Kate, for your bright, shining light, your incredible courage and your glowing Spirit! With deep gratitude for your gifts and the joy with which you shared them, I honor your memory and bless you on your journey. With love, Rev. Deb Hill-Davis

I send my deepest sympathy to Kate's family and friends. I knew her in seminary and got to do her hair a few times. She shared parts of her life with me and for that I am grateful. Kate always seemed to have the quality of "bouncing back" no matter what. I got to see her at various functions after graduation and her smile could light up a room. I know that there is peace in the ongoing of her soul.

Kate is a very special person. I first knew her as a Licensed Unity Teacher and Peacemaker. I celebrated her accomplishments in Unity throughout her service. She will continue to hold a sacred place in my heart.

Dear Miss "Sparkly Spirit", what a burst of joy you were while you were here! I'm so grateful for the times you shared with us, your zest for life, your life experiences and adventures, your spiritual insights, great resources discovered, and especially your triumphs over the human condition. Your presence here created widespread waves of love, joy, and inspiration within so many. Continued blessings to you and to your loved ones. Jennifer Stevens, Unity of the Valley, Savage, MN

Bless your soul, Kate. May you enjoy a new, wondrous adventure as you move toward Divine Light. Blessings to all who loved and will miss her from this lifetime.

LET HER BEAUTIFUL SOUL SHINE FOREVER,

Back around 1998-1999, I knew of Kate through Psyhosynthesis, a group that probably was affiliated with her work in Human Development. I was glad for her that she continued on for that degree in Divinity. Life-Long Learner - way to go, Kate!

Kate,
I will always treasure our time together and hold you in my heart. Your laugh, your smile, the way you flattered me. The trips and adventures we took together. The memories we shared. Your belief in the basic good in all human beings made us kindred souls. Thank you for making this world a better place and sharing your time and life with me. I love you Kate Peppler...and I always will.

Kate was a thriver - she handled whatever life threw her way with dignity, creativity, and energy. I am grateful for the time I spent with her. Blessings to her loved ones. Rev. Shelley Hansen

Remembering Kate and how she grew in strength, love and Spirit is helpful. I'm grateful for the many parties I attended in her Lee's Summit home. I admire her youthful engagement with the world. May we all embrace others as learned to.
Rev. Eric Page

Kate may your journey forward be one of light and love. I send my condolences to your family and my thanks for the support you showed to me.

Light and love in honor of Kate and her soul's journey...

John, Flossie, Ellwood, and dear friend Dan,

We are holding Kate, and you, in the Light, recalling Kate with joy.

Kate was a spirited, talented, loving light in our lives. She loved life passionately, and that love translated seamlessly from her home, to her garden, to her family and friends, to her spiritual life.

Even in her departing was she was passionate, joyously holding a goodbye party and sharing with friends and family gifts of the many things she had treasured.

We recall that there were difficult years when her diagnosis made her graduation from seminary seem unlikely. She ruefully told us that she had only twice in her life failed to finish something she started-- a latch-hook rug-- and seminary.
She willingly abandoned the rug, but accepting not graduating from seminary was much more difficult. It affected her sense of spiritual completion.

It was indeed a joyous time two long years later when she finally graduated and was ordained.

Kate, you always loved Rumi. On his tomb, his epitaph reads: "When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men."

You will always be in our hearts. Susan and Dennis Breed

Kate was a sister to me and I will always cherish the memories we've had together. I will always keep Kate in my heart. Love you forever Kate!

Kate,
Thinking of you with love. My fondest wish for you is that your next step of the journey is filled with love, light, peace and joy. Godspeed, dear Kate.
Love, Margaret F.

I new Kate at Unity Village when she came to study after I was ordained. We connected because of our redhead-ness! She was a great comfort to several of my personal friends who found themselves with Cancer. She was a feisty light! I am holding you all in prayer and love. She is now with my own beloved Tom and has earned her Wings, too. GodSpeed Kate!

Kate, thank you for all the insights you shared as we traveled our paths together. I'll always remember working on projects with you and graduating with you. Love forever.

What a friend Kate was to all who knew her. I had the pleasure of knowing her all the years she was going to school at Unity. What I will miss the most about Kate is that hearty, joy-filled laugh of hers and the fact that she made me feel really loved. Thank you Kate for being my friend.

Dan, thanks for being such a great guy to Kate, when she was here and especially now.
Robbie Meyer

Kate, you were a strong witness for me to the power of Love and Perseverance. Your strength and wisdom shone through as you faced cancer and found ways to make your health improve despite it! I hold you in love and appreciation, and know you are walking in the Light of Love. Fare Well, my friend!

Kate was an important part of my life for many years as a friend and a business associate. She was a fantastic publicist. I am glad she is finally at peace.

Kate lit up the room with her beautiful smile and warm, welcoming presence. I admired her and will miss her. Her light continues to shine in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to have known her!
My Very Heart-felt Prayers to her Family.
Very Sincerely,
Holly Circle-Steffen

I'm so glad Kate had the opportunity to follow her dream to become a Unity Minister. At times it was difficult, but her perseverance kept her eye on the prize. Kate will live in my memories because I was her advisor and we worked together closely. May you move on into the light of Love, dear friend. Claudell

Have a blessed, fun new journey on the other side. I will miss your loving presence here.
