Kate, you were the best. You were just great, and I'm so sorry I won't get to spend time with you again. What a wonderful weekend we had dressing up in old ball gowns at the beach May you rest in peace darling girl.

Dear Kate you worked for me many years ago at Abigail´s in Devonport .you were so vibrant &

Coffee group hosted by Kate was always full of fun for the babies and much needed stimulating conversation for the mums. We had many afternoons in the garden - drinking coffee and occasionally wine!
She once gave me a candle for meditating. It was beautiful- like Kate . She always reminded me of a 50s Hollywood actress - that´s how I remember her
Much love to Anthony , Natalie, Ruby and Hannah .

I only knew Kate these past few months through Saturday morning yoga and coffees afterward. I loved her teaching, her smile, and her wit. Rest in peace. Sending all comfort to the family.

Stanley Bay days seem like such a long time ago! But kate your smile and laugh always ringed out. Its been a minute since we last spoke at the Stanley Bay reunion, but the years melted away, as we talked about kids, and life. To Anthony and your daughters much love and respect at this time. Weta

Dear Kate - I remember your vibrancy, the way you could bring joy and fun to any gathering, your love of the garden, your deep care for family and friends, and your gift for making people feel at ease. You will be missed dearly. Thank you for all you gave this life. Arohanui, Kath

Kate, I see your wide smile, vibrant personality and beautiful voice and hope it brings some succour to your family in their future without you. May your god bless you

A beautiful soul who will be missed by everyone that knew Kate. The gardens you loved so much will be less bright without you tending them as will the people around you.

I will miss Kate's warmth and that earthy laugh, her love of nature and her hands in the soil, her singing and acting - she was so multi-talented.

All her worries are gone - she is at peace.

Felicity and Lucy - I will be by Sue's side for as long as she needs me.\
