GROG sending much love, Tiki-Kate.

Hogs and Kisses. :)

[ Edited by: GROG 2010-09-20 12:29 ]

Greetings fellow TCers:
On behalf of Kate, as well as her family, loved ones, and friends, I would like to take this time thank all of you here on TC for sending your flowers, blessings, love, gifts, and well wishes to her during her current health struggles. It has also meant a great deal to her family to see that Kate has so many good friends here in the tiki community that love and care for her so much. For all our help and support, they thank you all very much and are especially grateful to those close friends of hers from the tiki community who have selflessly been assisting Kate through all of this, since the beginning of it all.
Last week, Kate started receiving occasional in home nurse visits through hospice care, and yesterday, she moved in with her family so that all her current health needs can be better attended to. This is a very difficult time for Kate and her family, and they could not do it without the help and visits they have received from her friends over the last several days. Kate has been, and will continue to be, in the company of some of her very good friends through all of this.
For the time being, from the rest of us, Kate needs all our love and prayers. Now more than ever.

And thank you all for contributing to this thread. It is appreciated by her more than it can be stated in mere words by me.

We all love you Kate.

Kate, I am thinking of you and sending trans-continental healing mana.

All the best to you Kate! Really miss your post's and hope to see them sometime soon!
Are you going to eat that Jello?

TB

I send you all my affection and thinking of you ... gros bisous! ( big kisses)

Thanks for the thoughtful update, Buzzy. Mieko & Squid- thanks to you both as well.

KATE- Sending you the warmest wishes and prayers.
WE ALL LOVE YOU KATE!!!
-Andy

love and blessings to you kate. xoxo Dawn

Special thanks to Mieko and Ookoo Lady for all they've been doing.

We Love You Kate!!!!!

P

sending lots of love your way, Kate!

To all of her friends here, I'm very sorry to say that Kate passed away this morning.

She was the bravest and strongest woman I've ever known.

Kate's fighting spirit and will to survive kept her alive long past the time when the chemo was helping, but she refused to give up.

This morning she lost her battle, and passed away peacefully.

Thank you to everyone who cared for her.

This makes me sad.

I didn't know Kate very well, but of course I have been following this closely. My heart goes out to her family.

Thank God she had so much love and support on this forum. I am sure it made a huge difference.

Vaya con dios, Kate. You will be in my prayers tonight as you have been every night for the last few months.

in your memory
knowing that you are near
and smiling down on us.

What sorrowful news. Condolences and sympathies seem not enough. Read this thread daily and hopes were raised several times. Vaya con dios!

Gosh, I'm speechless. Hard to find a silver lining in that cloud. I guess it's comforting to see the warmth that Kate felt from so many TC members, and we all know the blessing of her presence in this community. And we'll miss her.

Goodbye Kate,
We have lost an amazing member of the Ohana today. We can take comfort in the fact that your suffering has ended.
You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear this news. I only spoke with Kate a few times, but what I truly understood about her was how much she loved her friends and TIKI! Rest in peace Kate...

I heard the news today and I am deeply saddened. I've known Kate for many years... she was one of our biggest supporters for so many years. She was such an integral part of so much that has happened in so many of our lives these past years. I can't find many words right now as I'm overwhelmed while thinking about her passing. I refer now and then to the "old guard" and some of us Tiki old-timers talk about the old days of Tiki and Kate was a pivotal and very, very important member of that crowd. We'll miss you dearly Kate.

My heart dropped the second that I opened up TC today. I knew that Kate's health had taken a turn for the worse, and that she was receiving hospice care, but I still didn't want to believe the inevitable.

On the bright side, I am very happy that Kate had time off and breaks in her chemo treatments, and was able to make it up to a Tiki Crawl or two, Mark Holt's Tiki Party last year (where she promptly gave me shit for not finishing The Quicksand Lounge, or my rain window effect - heh heh!), Humu's wedding, and various other endeavors that she truly enjoyed. I was really looking forward to seeing her at Bongofury's party a few weeks ago, but neither she nor I were able to make it.

Boris, Buzzy, Ookoo, and/or whoever, please forward Coco Loco's and my deepest sympathies to Kate's family.

I don't want to say goodbye, Kate, because you will never be forgotten. I will think of you every time I see the Tiki Babies that you got for me, hanging above my home bar.

Cancer sucks. Fuck cancer.

Thank you for letting us know about this. This is so sad, heartbreaking, and such a reminder. Kate was (that sounds so weird) always so present in life. She was a true friend to those she liked and loved. She followed her passions and lived as she wanted. I can't believe that someone so young and vibrant is gone. She fought the battle bravely and with passion. She is at peace now and finally out of pain.

We'd rather have her here, but may her life serve as an inspiration to live every moment to it's fullest. We never know when the end is, but it will come. Sadly in some cases it is much too soon, as it is here.

We will truly miss Kate and her presence in our lives. May she rest in peace.
To Kate's family: I am so sorry for your loss. May you find strength in her love to heal.
We miss truly you Kate!

Kate Your friendship will be missed by many. It was a privilege to know such a sweet and sincere person.
Aloha 'oe

Kate, we're all going to miss you dearly! You were one of my first friends in the Tiki community and you set the bar really damn high.

Kate - You will forever be in our hearts and we are truely blessed to have known you. We take comfort in knowing you are finally able to enjoy mai tais again. Rest In Peace.

Kate shared so much of her life with Tiki Central.

She enjoyed every part of Tiki from cocktails to carving to collecting.

If you have any more pictures of Kate, please post them here, even if they’ve already been posted in other threads. It will make it easier for her family to see them if they’re all in one place.

Thanks. It's nice to know that so many people cared about her.

You will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Kate. You deserve it after your fight.

Kate, you were a beautiful, strong woman through the very end.

Your friends are going to miss you so much.

God Bless.

Love,

Sabu
