My heart is breaking you went too soon, you ment the world to me, no more magic hugs or wise advice.
Your Sunshine, Moon and Universe will continue your legacy of helping others.
I’m so proud of you for all you did in life, you’re the strongest woman I know who never gave up and showed true grit and perseverance.
No more pain or worries, fly free 🦋 until we met again and don’t worry Dad is under my wing.
Love your darling boy

Kate, you gave your all.
You had battles that no one else saw. Even in your struggles, we admired your courage, strength & the sound of your laughter.
God knew the weight you were carrying. He opened his arms and whispered, “Come home.”
Kate has left this world, but not our hearts.
Our love and strength to Garry, Julia, Ryan & families.
