Wow! I just saw this thread and am speechless. I've been away from TC for a long time due to work and other obligations and didn't know Kate was sick. While we didn't know Kate well, we did know her and we are deeply saddened to hear of her passing. This is such a sobering reminder of how precious life really is. If you have a special someone in your life, let them know just how much they mean to you while you still can. RIP Kate! |

It's so touching to see how much Kate meant to so many people. I was very lucky and feel very honored that I was able to visit her and help her out and to get to know her so well. The San Diego tiki chops meant so much to Kate. She was so proud to have been to them all. Kate used to talk to me about different people from TC, and how she thought that they were just acquaintances. Over the last year, between all the cards, the posts here and the visits, she really realized how much she was loved. Sorry these are sideways. |

I didn't ever have a chance to meet you Kate, but you must have been quite a special person, judging from all the love being shown here. My prayers and thoughts go out to Kate's friends and family. |

Here you go Mieko. Boris and I visited with her on Tuesday and had the pleasure of meeting her Dad, brother, and her sister Susan. Kate was pretty weak, and because of the drugs couldn't really speak or keep her eyes open for long. She said something, but it was too hard to hear her well, and it sounded like she said "Not sure", and tried to repeat it a couple of times. We couldn't figure out which question or statement she was responding to. It wasn't until later that night when I was home I realized she was saying "Nice shirt" because she recognized I was wearing the Hawaiian shirt she gave to me at the shirt swap at Tiki Oasis a couple of years ago. She had picked it out for me at Oasis from those she had brought with her, she held it up and said "This will look good on you", and shoved it into my hands. It's always been my favorite Hawaiian shirt. What a great and kind spirited lady. I'll miss her very much. |

Kate was obviously very special to have so many people show so much love for her. I'm very sad for her family and friends. I wish I would have known you Kate, your photos show you so full of life and creativity. And you had a way of bringing people together! Rest in Peace Kate... And thanks to Tiki Central for honoring her! [ Edited by: TikiMookie 2010-09-23 06:55 ] |

I am so shocked and saddened by the news. I remember the first time I met Kate, at the Enchanted Tiki Room with Mieko. I remember being a little star-struck... like "Wow, Tiki-Kate! I've read so many of her posts on TC!" She was so nice, and funny, with a very dry sense of humor... I sat next to her for the Tiki Room show. And she even put in an order for one of my first plush tikis! It's a great, and now a cherished memory. We love you Kate, Manuel and I will miss you terribly! |

My heart is saddened today. I didn't get to know Kate as many of you may have, but I enjoyed her company here on the board. I'm going to take a moment to reflect on our conversations and hope to see her in the island in the sky to finally meet her and thank her for being a great person. |

"A heart is not judged by how much you love, but how much you are loved by others." (The Wizard of Oz) If this thread is any indication of Tiki Kate's heart and life, then, brief though it was, it was outstanding. Sending you aloha, Kate, wherever you're dancing. |
