Kate touched so many lives for the good. I’m grateful that I had the chance to know her as a sister in-law and as a friend. I want to tell you Jim and Betty, that you both did an outstanding job with Kate as evidenced in her adult years by her respect for people, her passion for art, writing and music, her empathy toward other people, her endless efforts to spoil and show attention to her niece and nephews, her desire to help those in need, and her ability to push forward in a world that is often negative, confusing, and judgmental. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days, my most heartfelt condolences.
