Thinking Kate and Terence and family with great affection today. Many lovely memories of a spectacular and kind person.

Corinne

The girls miss you. They talk of you often. You would love seeing them be moms to their sweet kids. As I go through old photo albums, I share the photos of your family with Allegra, Megan and Christine. You are greatly missed.

This reminder put me in Kate memory mode all day today. Browsing old pix, thinking of the fun we had in College, and knowing that this election season, there would have been so many threads of discussion we'd debate together, as always: packing the court....the electoral college.... the impeachment....the NPV movement (workaround to the electoral college).....Southern District Court's pending suits....."his" perp walk--and for what.....the Follow the Money discussions.....and on and on and on......Kate would have had a field day parsing all this, and working the issues with all those in her swirl.  I miss her much, and know she's watching with interest.  Kate--we'll discuss these and many other issues to come, but for now, you're in our thoughts and know we miss you.  Marian

Thinking of you! So many memories of our travels together. Best, tracy and john

Kate,I send you hugs! I've learned to sit on the back porch. I think of you outside in your gazebo on the water. Bonnie

Thinking of our first meeting at Mudge Rose! Boy, that was in the late 70s...over 40 years ago...I miss my pal and confidant and am so happy to still be in Terry's life and peripherally in Allegra and Brandon's lives. She left such a wonderful legacy.

I was thinking,about Cynthia and Soli’s wedding and how sweet you were as a flower girl. I'm sorry you aren’t with us. Sean is with you too now.

Thinking of you, Terrence, and your beloved Kate. Forever missed.

Your old friend,
Denis

Thinking of my dear friend with sadness but happiness on this mother's day for the joy of knowing her babies, Allegra and Brandon.

Happy Birthday! We miss you. Tracy & John

Thinking of you and your beloved Kate on this special birthday.
Your old SHU friend,
Denis M.

Happy Birthday Kate! You made the world a better place, and us - better people.

Thinking of you today and often. Miss you, still Dear Kate.

As I pack today for 2-weeks in Morocco with Barnard Alum Group, I think of you, Kate. I know you loved this area of the world, and it would have been fun to have had you with us. Thinking of you often, and miss you, still.

Terrence,
Thinking of you and Kate today and always.
Your old SHU buddy,
Denis

We are very sorry to hear your passing. We always remember the time we were together happly in Beijing.

One-and-a-half year after the tragic accident which took Kati away from us, she is still sorely missed. The day she would have celebrated her 65th birthday, I was hiking in the mountains and kept thinking of her. My sadness was mixed with a feeling of gratefulness for having had the chance to know her, as she was só special. My thoughts also went out to Terence, Allegra and Brandon, the family whom she dearly loved and was so proud of. Kati will never be forgotten. She will live on in our hearts.

Happy Birthday our Kate; I thank you daily for all you taught on traveling. You'd be proud, I'm spending a few weeks in Utah visiting our son. Airbnb. In the first few hours, I setup house, moved furniture and replaced the dim light bulbs. Cozy, Kate. I miss you sorely Kate, so far ahead.

May your memory live eternally in the hearts of your family and friends

This would have been Kate's birthday. I remember making the birthday cake for her at our Dorm in '72--and, together, sharing our hopes & dreams, and jabbering about the principles of whether shutting down the various buildings at Columbia, as part of the anti-Vietnam protests was truly the right way to bring attention to this issue.....What fun it was to banter all sides of whatever issue. Naturally, the flip side of Kate was equalling fun. We shared a love of the Tudor era in England, and I can tell you that she devoured untold numbers of books on the topic--cause I always took her recommendations--and I have the sagging bookshelves to show for it!  Miss her much.  Marian

Terence,

Thinking of you and your beloved Kate on her birthday.

Your old SHU friend,
Denis

We were fortunate to visit Lucinda in Paris yesterday. We reminisced about Kate and some of our shared Kate memories. We think of her often with great love and sad regrets at her loss.

I have so many memories of Kate--the lawyer, the mother, the wife, the woman--that I still cannot believe she is no longer on this earth. Our friendship with her is something Joan and I will always carry with us. We hope time has helped Terry, Brandon and Allegra heal.

May her memory live forever in your hearts. Thinking of you all.

Thinking of you today and always Dear Kate with great and loving memories

Thinking of you today, Terence, and remembering your beloved Kate.

Your old friend from Seton Hall,
Denis

Thinking of you today, Kate, with great friendship and still sorrow.

Terence and family, you are also in our thoughts today and wish you the continued comfort of shared times and healing

Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted
Matthew 5:4
My thoughts and prayers are with you

We love you Kate , you're in our minds , we miss you .

I first met Kate when we were on opposite sides during a rather heated negotiation. We came out of it as friends. The twinkle in her eye as she was landing her points made it difficult for me to counter. Then my wife and I met Terry and then little Allegra and Brandon at their home and at ours. We will long remember the musicales and I will remember the times Kate and I sat as "judges" in the mock negotiations of Terry's students at Cardozo Law School, a technique I borrowed years later when I conducted seminars at the same school. Our paths diverged in later years, but I will always remember the opponent with the twinkle and her wonderful family.
She is one of those people who will be sorely missed.

I am very sorry not to be able to join Terence, Allegra and John, Brandon and Anita and other family and dear friends in person for the November 12 remembrance and celebration of Kate Dwyer’s extraordinary life. I am now on a short assignment for the American Bar Association in Morocco, where Terence led the office. This is the third country or region where I have followed him, and/or Kate.
Here, as in Egypt and Central Asia, they and their family are fondly remembered.

The local staff and partners’ faces light up at the mention of Kate’s name, and everyone has a favorite story or adventure with her. All of them revolve around her kindness and grace, and the remarkable love that she and Terence had for each other, their children and family and their many friends.

Kate was a creator and a pollinator and a cultivator. She was incredibly smart and generous, and just plain fun. I first met Kate through work, and admired her energy, creativity, and ability to develop relationships and talent and community. Working with human rights lawyers in Uzbekistan, mentoring our staff in Turkmenistan, encouraging law students and young lawyers and always finding ways to get things done, no matter the obstacles. She had a million ideas.

I appreciated all those wonderful qualities in a different way after becoming her friend and seeing how she brought them to her personal life and home. I was lucky enough to join Kate and Terence for a spectacular vacation in Provence where they welcomed me into the mix of family and friends going back to Barnard days and earlier and every part of her life since then. Whether it was finding the perfect turquoise scarf, and selection of cheeses at a market in Provence, or sightseeing off the beaten path, Kate made everything an occasion to be celebrated. What a gift. We missed her terribly this year in Padua, but it comforted all of us there – and we hope especially Terence and the family – to feel her spirit and imagine her with us at Palladian villas and sitting in the garden.

I think it was George Eliot who said that the darkest night the world has ever known did not put out the stars. Kate, we wish we still had the light of your life physically with us, but you continue to shine. Remembering our time together reminds us what is means to be a wonderful friend and a wonderful person who made everyone whose life she touched better in big ways and small. Shine on, dear Kate.

Kate, like Dawn said, we missed you greatly at Christine's wedding. They had such a beautiful tribute to you and Jim in her wedding program.

Happy birthday Kate! We missed you at Mike and Christine's wedding. We all wish you were there to celebrate with them.

Remembering you dearest on your birthday kindest and sweetest person you will always be in our thoughts and prayers

Ghada, Kamal, Joe and Jessy

Kate. Your family misses you so. I know you are now their Gardian Angle and watching over. They remember you on your birthday wishing you could celebrate your day with them, but you are with them in their hearts. You are their special Angle.

May her memory be eternal.

Remembering our dear Kate on her birthday, with loving memories of her and love and prayers to her family from the Manix family.

May Kate be forever remembered for the beautiful person that she was and for the wonderful joy that she spread to her many, many grateful friends.

To Terrence and family from your old SHU friend,
Denis

Terry and family, you could have knocked me over with a feather at the class reunion when you told me about your beloved Kate. I remember when I first met her. You brought her to a Pgh. Symphony concert at S. Park High School when visiting your patients. I rember thinking how lucky you were to find such a sweet, beautiful woman. I would only see her when you were in town for reunions and could see the love you two had for each other. When I heard you were comming to the reunion and comming alone I thought she had something else to do that weekend but was totally shocked to find out why she wasn't there. I know all of you miss her so much. If it rains at Brandon's wedding don't get upset
It is only Kate shearing a year or two because she can not be with all of you but it also shows she is with you always. God bless you, your children and grandchildren. You are all in my prayers. Love Joy H Fink

Ah Kate, thinking of you. So many things you influenced. Not a day goes by without your touch.

I am getting such a happy, warm glow looking at these photos of the many years I've know you all. I can't help but smile at the memories and send my love to Terry, Allegra and Brandon.

Kate, again thinking of you. You are beautiful inside and out and I miss you. Thanks to everyone for adding more pictures.

Dear Terence,
I have been at a loss for words since hearing the tragic news. I met Kate my first day of college in 1969, and as you know, we participated in each other's weddings. I am so sad that she is gone, and my heart goes out to you and Allegra and Brandon. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers often. Let us know when you are back in Michigan and open to a visit. With sympathy and love, Janna

Terence: Before I met Kate, and got to be around you two together, I presumed that this inspiring, love filled relationship you two shared must be a second marriage for both of you-- I just remember being so touched by the high level of affection and adoration you held for her. Then I got to meet the delightful Kate, and could tell she shared the same enduring and tremendous level of affection and adoration for you, in return. That love was and still is infectious, and no question that those you have encountered (including me!) along the paths you have both walked, and in the countries you have visited and/or lived, are a little more kind, a little more considerate, and a little more loving. She leaves a legacy of justice (as do you!) all over the world, but its this amazing legacy of love and kindness--so present in you, and in Allegra & Brandon and those adorable grand kids--that will also endure for a LONG LONG time. Thanks for sharing that, and Kate, with us.

Kati was an exceptional wife for you, Terence, an exceptional mother for you, Allegra & Brandon, and an exceptional friend for me.
I met Kati, as she introduced herself to me, in Amsterdam, in 1969, when I had just started studying there. We agreed to become pen pals. In 1971, I worked for Holland-America-Line and thus had the opportunity to visit her in NYC, where she studied at Columbia.
It was Kati who brought us all together. My sincere wish is that we continue the bond we have thanks to her. It would be a tribute to her and I think that's what she would have wanted.
Kati will be sorely missed by all of us, in the first place Terence, Allegra and Brandon, of course. Let us help each other come to terms with her loss, because we are all shattered.

Our Cairo Book Club was really appalled when one of the members informed us of the death of Kate. Our hearts go out to the whole family and friends. We had the privilege of discussing books and in addition many other topics during our monthly book club meeting over a cup of coffee or tea with Kate. In addition there were those of us who would get to see her with Clerence at the Opera. It was only this past year that she left us to return to the States and now she has left us again. We are so sorry she has been robbed of more time with her children, grandchildren and spouse.

I am appalled by this tragic news.

Kate was my director when I was working with ABA ROLI in Tunisia and she was a wonderful person. She was very supportive and encouraging to me for my career and my studies. She recommended me and advised me on my career and always had kind words for me.

We talked a lot and laughed often. We discussed about law, music, food and all sorts of things. Kate was more than a colleague, a friend.

I am sorry that we could not meet again although we tried. She called me soon after I arrived to the U.S. and was very kind as always.

I extend my most sincere condolences to her family.

Tom, Allegra and Brandon, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Katie was such a warm and enthusiastic person and I loved talking and spending time with her. Her warmth and energy could brighten a whole room and I feel so lucky to have had time to spend with her. May you all find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories that she had created with you.

Terence,

I am so saddened and shocked to hear of Kate's passing. Deanne and I have such fond memories of the two of you sharing information about your Fulbright and other experiences in China (Foreign Affairs University, International School of Beijing, etc.) with us before our own 6 month sojourn there with our own young family some years later. Kate was so kind and generous on those and other occasions, and truly infectious with her inimitable enthusiasm. The world has lost a bright light.

Deepest condolences to you and Allegra and Brandon.

With sympathy,
Mike

Kate was my welcome to Bishkek when I arrived there as a fresh-faced ABA CEELI liaison in 2003. And what a welcome it was; from her elaborate water purification ritual to the state of law school curriculum reform, to teaching me about hiring competent loyal staff. I'm forever indebted to her.
Years later she showed me the ruins of Tunis after inviting me to partake in her important work there. She knew how to live, and live it to the hilt. No one could tell a story with the drama and flair of Kate.
And Kate was dramatic in the best possible way.
