They loved their fun GG and knew they were the center of her universe. They were adored by GG. Loved and remembered until the end by Brian and Holly.
Kate’s artist soul and zest for life made an impression on everyone she met, as did her classic and vibrant sense of style. She was a legend at her favourite coffee spot, Espresso Post, that she visited daily for many years.
