Thank you so much for the excellent coverage of Kate’s funeral.
The recognition reported from many areas demonstrated the reach that Kate had on Charlotte County and beyond.
As a volunteer driver with Dial-a-Ride, and a resident of Saint Andrews; I have the opportunity to drive members from the community to their appointments. In the 2 weeks after Kate’s passing; I was overwhelmed daily by the members who seemed to feel an urgency in sharing their experiences with Kate. What was not surprising was the all of the acts of kindness they shared. There were many examples of small and large of the kindness she showed daily to others. It was no surprise that tears were shed. Dial-a-Ride is feeling the impact.
I want to share one particular memory coming from a young pre-schooler named Olivia. Out of nowhere, Olivia announced: “Kate is sleeping now, Kate is having a long sleep.” I said, yes, she was very tired and needed a sleep. Olivia said: “I miss Kate’s cookies. They were so good”.
Out of the mouth of babes!
Rest easy Kate and don’t worry I gave Gickles and Sweetcheeks carrots in your name on Monday night.
