I was really shocked when I got the message. She was full of life and shared her joy with other.

Sending my prayers and thoughts to those who knew her.
Another kind soul left the planet way too early... She's in a better place now without any pain, watching over her family, friends and TV's from heaven...

All my thoughts are with her family and friends.

I am sad I didn't get to know Kate better. It's weird to not know what a person looks like, how they sound or how old they are, and yet through her messages I felt the spirit of a young fun-loving person. I was surprised to find out that she was much older than me, although way too young to be taken away :'( I have been reading through all of the messages she sent me over this last year and a half and it makes me smile to see her jokes and feel her love of life, to see that she seemed to hang on to the light even through such difficult times. I never guessed she was ill, I just thought she was very busy so I was happy to keep hosting her delightful Edelweiss. I will treasure her messages and postcards. And I am inspired by how she remained so upbeat. From my messages I have now remembered she was the first person to talk to me on this site, so welcoming, kind and helpful to newcomers and long-term members alike.

Every time I look at Edelweiss tears come to my eyes, which seems strange seeing as I only knew Kate through words. But it is as though a part of her is still here where I live. It is silly but one of my thoughts was 'how am I going to tell Edelweiss?'. She seems so real and the way Kate's spirit can live on through her TV creations, is truly wonderful.

I have just read Zoe's update and it made me happy to see her say that she will continue to see the world and have fun, as that is what her mom would have wanted. Edelweiss tells me she will do the same, and I have promised her that when we next can we will go to get some flowers to pay tribute and help set Kate's soul and Edelweiss's pain to rest.

You will be deeply missed dear Krawfish,
Love Edelweiss and Becca

Hello, I have been locked out of my account for a long time as I had forgotten my password. I had made another account (Gizalba2) so I was updating from there for a while, however I am back using this one now :)

TVs I still have whose owners have been absent for over a year:

Pengy, Tapsi and Jala

If any of these owners come back and would like me to post these guys back to you, please let me know!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
I felt really close to Kate during all the years she had been here. I will keep her Fiona as a toyvoyager, that only travels with me from and with good friends from here, because I don't want to lose her. I will go on with updates too and I'm so sad and disappointed with myself, that I had such computer problems and then no time to write updates. She never will see my Sweden updates. I really don't know, how I can write them now. Fiona sits at my side since I know that she's gone, too. And I sit here and don't know, what to write.

I cannot find the right words in English - so accept some German words here:

Das schönste Denkmal,
das ein Mensch bekommen kann,
steht in den Herzen der Mitmenschen.

(Albert Schweizer)

The most beautiful memorial that someone can get,
stands in the hearts of his friends.

Surely Kate's memorial will be in many of our hearts.

I am so sad.

I was buoyed up on the way to Sacramento for Kate's memorial service by your nice words here and in PMs. Knowing of candles and a fire lit in Europe added greatly to the support shown to her family and friends.

Two versions of Amazing Grace were played. One a straight forward instrumental arrangement and the other one is linked on my recent updates. It was introduced as being from Kate's favorite album.

Henna says Kate was full of light. I, too, think she lit up rooms and even the great outdoors.

I'm very sad to hear the sad news...
Kate always sounded so full of life and happines. I always admired how nice and welcoming she was with everyone. Having Ranil visit her was a great pleasure, she was a great host with a fun sense of humor and her updates were always fun to read...

Rest in peace, dear Kate. We will miss you.

We are still really shocked! It´s hard to find words to say. Kate was such a nice and lovely person. I always liked to write with her!
Since we know that she passed away Vanilla is always by our side.

Rest in peace Kate. You will never be forgotten!

It seems, that I start to think again. I will first ask her family, before I do any update with Fiona. I deleted all my updates again, because it felt too strange for me to go on with it. I will let you know, what her family wants us to do as soon as possible.
My updates were a way to work with my grieve. I'm not over it, but I will try to find another way.
Kind regards,
Petra
