Dear Kate,
I will always remember the happy times I have had with you- playdates at Tara's when the kids were little, New Years Eves with the early dropping ball, Stephen's first kiss, his ice-skating party, Flip-flop girls night on my deck, Gayman adventures and home room Mom spectaculars. In particular, I was thrilled to experience your homeroom Mom magic in Mrs. Klebba's K class. I have such great memories of that spooky & amazing Halloween room- like it was the set of a Martha Stewart show! You are one of the most fun, organized, optimistic, determined & strongest people I have ever been blessed to know!

Love,
Kristie

ps. Chris, Katie, Cole, Claire and I all send our love to Steve and Stephen. We are here if they ever need anything at all.

There are so many wonderful things about Kate that will genuinely be missed. Our deepest condolences to you, Stephen and your family. Please know that our family is also here for you and Stephen whenever you may need it.
Sincerely,
The Kasak Family

We will miss Kate so much. She had such a unique combination of grace and style, love and kindness and a fantastic dry sense of humor. I was amazed at her strength and courage in the last few years.
Remembering all of the great times and fun we had. We'll miss you always Katie Gus..

Stephen Sr and Jr.........Your wife and mother were an inspiration to us all. Kate's kindness and gentle ways were evident in everything she did and she touched the lives and hearts of so many. I pray you find comfort in the wonderful memories you created as a family.

Love and Peace,
Eileen Button
