Kate was such a sweet lady. For these past 3 years i had the pleasure of taking care of her. She will forever be in my heart and memory. Sitting outside every chance she got (even if it was chilly) just to get a little bit of sunshine. Carrying around her bucket of pretzel sticks or constantly losing her phone, her memory will forever be with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
