The first I ever heard of Kate was when the alert went out to TC that she was very ill and really in need of big Tiki love.

I only noticed her at all because of GROG, who rarely takes a genuine interest in someone who walks upright, posted something under Prayers for Tiki Kate. When I checked to see what was up with that, I learned of Kate and her plight.

I've been on TC for a few years and have yet to meet another TCer in person. After learning about Kate, I thought she was probably the one I would most enjoy meeting of all, hopefully, one day after she got well.

It seems I will have to wait a while longer, but when I go myself, I'll definitely be looking around for that sweetheart. She's busy with her new life now, but she crossed over adorned in some powerful aloha, so I know she must be doing well.

My condolences to her family. We might have lost her for now, but she hasn't lost us, not me anyway.
