Happy heavenly birthday, Kate.

Dear Kate,

Miss you. I think of you very often. Just the other day I was remembering how much fun we had in our mini-Eurotrip, a lifetime ago. Sometimes I still can't believe you're gone, much less than it's been as long as it has.

Sending love to wherever you are.

We miss you Kate and think of you every day. I say a prayer before I go to sleep every night sending my love to you in heaven You brought so much joy to our lives and we’ll carry that in our hearts forever❤️

Remembering Kate on this day of her birthday and her untimely passing on May 5th 2015. Our wishes go out to her family and hope they are well.

Dearest Kate,
Today is certainly a day with mixed emotions.  This would have been your 32nd Birthday, and is your Mother's and my 41st Anniversary. You were the most wonderful anniversary present ever, and will forever be missed. 
And while I am sad that we aren't celebrating together, the legacy of your wonderfulness as daughter, your love of life, and your service to others will live on forever.
I Love You my sweet darling.
Dad

Happy Heavenly Birthday Kate❤️
Miss you and love you so much
God bless

Dear sweet Kate, Not a day goes by I don’t think of you and say a prayer.
You are greatly missed and we love you so much! I think back about a dream I had seven years ago and you were riding bare back on a beautiful white horse. As you rode by me you said it’s so amazing in heaven I can gallop on my horse and not worry about falling off. Now that’s how I think of you galloping bare back into the sunset ❤️

My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you, but my soul knows you are at peace. I miss you every day but the wonderful memories of you bring comfort to me. You were such a special niece, and I will always have you in my prayers and thoughts. I know we will see eachother again and it will be a glorious day.

I had a dream about you last night. I've had dreams about you before but the amount of detail in your face and how you expressed yourself was so vivid, it was shocking. I usually just take away the general idea of my dreams but every expression in your face, the way you shifted your body, but most importantly how you just didn't break your eye contact with me. It really felt like you were there. I'm not religious... But that was the closest I have ever really felt like I was near you again in a long time. It makes me wish I could have been a better friend and kept in contact with you more. I had no idea I wouldn't be able to talk to you. To hug you. To meet up with you and your family. To do anything... It was the hardest lesson I've ever had to learn. Just know that I do my best to let all of my loved ones know just how much they mean to me all the time because of you.

You know, I have done some pretty great things because of you. I have learned a great deal of guitar, piano and even how to sing! Sort of... Life can be very distracting yet there are still so many times where I get myself to keep my focus on the arts because I tell myself, "She may be watching!" So, I give it my all! I hope to make you really proud someday.

I talk to you a lot in the car when I am blasting my music. That's some of the best memories I have of us. Driving around in those cool California nights.

I hope you keep visiting my dreams. That was really special - It's those damn piercing blue eyes. Anyone who has known you knows exacting what I am talking about.

I love and miss you so much. I really wish you were here.

Happy Birthday sweet Kate
I remember the day you we’re born like it was yesterday. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years ago. You brought such joy to our family! I’m so thankful I was there to see all the smiles on everyone’s faces at the site of you Be blessed my incredible niece
I’m sure birthdays in heaven are amazing
We love and miss you so much

Dearest Kate, your Aunt Jacque and I think about you often and know that you are still living your dreams on a much bigger and better stage. Say hello to my grandparents, Mother and Father, Brother and Sister. Your spirit lives among us and we thank you for watching over us. We all miss you dearly and celebrate your life often. With all our Love, Uncle Alex

My dear sweet niece, you were taken from us too early. You made us all feel special and loved. You were smart, creative, loving, giving, and so much more. Natalie and I will always cherish the memories that we made with you. We loved attending your plays and were always reminded how talented you were each time. We will miss your sweet smile and kind words. I know you are singing in heaven and surrounded by so much love by both of your grandmothers. You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. Love you always

Happy Heavenly 30th birthday, Katie! Miss you. Party on!! 

Miss you and thinking of you today.

On this day five years ago, you went home to heaven and have been our sweet angel ever since. We miss you so much and we often think of what you might be doing if you were still with us...singing, live theater on broadway, riding horses, getting married, or just hanging with family and friends making us all feel special. You are and have always been a shooting star with such amazing gifts. Heaven is so lucky to have you and we know your dancing and riding bareback across beautiful heavenly meadows now. Big hugs and kisses coming your way and please give my mom, your grandma a big hug and kiss for us too. Your birth gave your grandma new life after she lost her son, our brother John. Thank you Katers we love you forever❤️

Even though I have never met Kate, she sounds like such a wonderful girl and with many who care about her. I was happy to arrange the trip that brought her mom back to St. Andrews in her remembrance.

Some people you just don't forget. You are at the top of that list. Miss you and love you Kate.

There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think about my sweet niece Kate. I love her amazing energy, her big smile and most of all her hugs. I wish I could give her a big hug right now, but instead I pray and think about all the wonderful memories we shared. Kate lives on in our hearts and minds. I love and miss you so much Katers❤️

Sweet darling girl. Your light and love continues to shine on this earth through your family and friends. The loss of you is so large as the love for you is to infinity.
Your sweet smile and laughter continues to ring through all that have met you and continue to love and miss you.
Your voice whispers in the breeze letting all who knew you feel your love and gentle hug.

Dear Kate,
I miss you so much. Can't believe I'm now living in the States, like we always talked about. I'm older than you now... I ended up marrying João, whom you met - I wish you could have been there with us. (Though I imagine that, somehow, you were).
You taught me so much! We had so much fun. And yet it all feels so short...
I wish you could be proud of the things we're doing now. I wish you could have been part of them. I wish you could have visited is in our house in Lisbon... You'd like the garden, the view, the ocean.
Watch over us. I will remember you and our friendship forever.
I pray for your family and friends.
With love,
Your friend and next-door neighbor in St Andrews

My dearest Kaitlyn,
This was to be your 28th Birthday.  While I miss you every day, it's days like today that bring back such vivid memories of your charming, caring personality, your knack for entertainment, and the fun times that we shared when you were growing up.  

You should know that your Mom is in St. Andrews right now preparing for the "Leap of Kate" group plunge event into the North Sea being done in your honor.  We know how much you were looking forward to taking this leap upon graduating from St. Andrews, and still remember that look of terror on your Mother's face when you first told her what you would be doing.  And now, for her to be leading the charge into that frigid cold water is quite a tribute to the commitment she has to honoring your life and goals. 

I Love and miss you dearly.
Dad

Thinking of you with very fond memories on this day, which would have been your 26th Birthday, and your parent's Anniversary.   You were the most wonderful anniversary present ever, and will forever be missed.  I Love You my Dearest Kaiti. 
Dad

Kate - thank you for watching out for those down here that still love you and miss you so much.

Uncle Warren

Kate, miss you dearly.  I Love You. 
Dad

Dear Guy and Linda and the Vasconcellos family, Kate became part of the California Musical Theatre family last summer when she interned with us. Her passion for musical theatre and her warm personality blessed all those who had the pleasure of meeting her. Our prayers are with you all.

Dear Linda and Guy,
It has been many years since the Bridgewater NJ days but please know we are all sending our prayers and sympathy to you and your family. May the memories of Kate last a lifetime. Much love and sadness.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.

Yvonne & Mark Porteous, Edinburgh, Scotland

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. May you find strength in your friends, family and faith to help you during this difficult time.

Kate,

You so quickly became such a great friend. I loved how whenever we hung out my face would be sore from smiling and laughing. You always knew how to tell a great story and brighten my day. I will forever treasure all of our adventures and memories. You always accepted me and all my weird quirks and ran with it. You are and will always be missed. I love you.

Kate, you are an incredible, bright, and beautiful person. I love you and I will miss you. No matter how much time had passed, you were someone I cared for forever. Heaven knew you were an angel.

Linda, Guy, family and Jonathan....may God give you strength during this tragic loss. Praying for comfort and Kate's lovable memories heal your hearts...This is a beautiful memorial and difficult ..thank you for sharing. (Linda, I love you and cry for you, and send a big hug my friend)

Kate had an infectious personality, one that touched every person she met. She had a bright smile that could fill a room, the bubbliest laugh, and an incredible knack for story-telling. I wish I had gotten the chance to get to know her better in St Andrews. She will be sorely missed by all of her friends. Wishing her family my deepest sympathies. There are no words that can justify such a sad loss. She will always be in our minds.

Linda & Guy, I am so saddened by the loss of your dear daughter Kate. My thoughts are with you and your family at this most difficult of times.

The first time I met Kate was when she was home after her first year in Scotland. We had a lovely, long conversation about her studies, ideas and hopes for the future. She was so vibrant, bright, poised, and happy. I will always remember her in that bright moment of youthful excitment. It was inspiring, and carried me back to a time when I felt a similar excitement about life. She was a wonderful person.
My deepest condolences. Gena

Beautiful Kate, you brought sunshine into the lives of everyone you met. You will live on in their hearts and never be forgotten. I know you are in heaven watching over your family. Guy, Linda, Brooke and Craig I wish you peace and comfort until you are united again in heaven.

Kate, I have been internalizing what this all means to me... You have been a pillar in my life and will be a huge foundation in the choices I make. Every day I wish to write out my experience with you, but when I go to do so it never feels quite right. Maybe when I come to California to be with you, your loved ones and your family I might be able to finally express my feelings. I still don't fully believe it. Though I know I have to.. I hope in some way you hear my voice Kate.

Linda and Guy,
I had not met this lovely young lady but have heard of her wonderful qualities. She has left an amazing legacy to be remembered by all. I am wishing you and the family comfort and peace during this very difficult time.

Linda and Guy,
Our family mourns for your loss. I don't even have the words to convey our sorrow. Kate was always so happy and right there with a smile. She could really belt out those songs on stage and make everyone else smile. We will always remember her and smile.
Take Care of yourselves.

George and Lynda Rose

I wish I had known this beautiful young lady. She obviously was one of a kind and loved by many. Linda and Guy my heart hurts for you and your entire family. What a tragic loss. Cherish all the beautiful memories and know that all of us are praying for peace and comfort.

Sweet, beautiful Kate! You will be always remembered and never forgotten! Hugs and healing prays sent to all her loving family left behind!

A beautiful soul lost too soon
She was capable of anything
even walking on the moon
To the family I'm sending lots of love
Shes smiling & missing everyone from up above
Kate was a dear childhood friend
Forever in my heart until the end

Kate was taken from us far too soon, but every time I saw her she gave meaning to the phrase "You Light Up Our Lives". She will not be forgotten.

Kate is a bright light that will shine forever in heaven.

Linda & Guy, I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. I will always remember how excited you were when you were expecting Kate and the baby shower for her at your home. Forward many, many years and I was able to meet the beautiful woman she had become in December 2012. Her light, love, and smile will forever shine in the hearts of everyone that met her. My heart is heavy for you and your family and you are in my prayers.
