Condolence From: David Dax
Condolence: I was saddened and alarmed to read of Kate's death (and also to read of her custody battle for her daughter, whom I know she dearly loved). I met Kate in 2010 when she worked at Community Services in Lexington. Kate was a beautiful and delightful young woman whom I would have loved to know better. Although I do not know how she died, I do know of a possibility. Rest in peace, lovely Kate.

Condolence From: Kriya H. Couto
Condolence: I don't know what happened, but I did leave a condolence when I first heard about her passing, but it's not here :(
It's a year later and it still seems very surreal that she's actually gone. I have many fun memories, as I knew Kate for 30 years! She had deep struggles, but I do know that she is at peace now.
I miss you Kate. I'm sorry that I turned away and wasn't a stronger friend for you. You're forever in my heart. I hope you forgive me and I look forward to embracing each other in Heaven one day.
I had a dream about Kate soon after she passed. She was smiling and happy. It was comforting to see her finally free of all her worry. Alas, I do miss her laugh and quirky humor, along with Mary Hannah and John. Thank you for being my extended family. May you all rest in peaceful pastures.
Till we all meet again, All my love, Kriya

Condolence: Was just checking up on you and your Facebook said "remembering" before your name. I nearly fainted. That's been a few months ago now. I didn't know this was here but even if I had, I didn't know what to say. Kate, you were so loved. I wish I could have done more to help make your life less chaotic and crazy. You were a good mother; a good daughter and a good friend. I don't know what happens after we die but I hope to see you again one day. Until then, peace be to you.

Condolence From: Caroline O'Shea
Condolence: Please accept my deepest condolence on this terrible loss. I was fortunate to have had a friendship with Tara during high school and for a few years after college. She was smart and sweet. She was adventurous and introduced me to a lot of wonderful things: music, food, restaurants, and travel. We laughed a lot and had wonderful traditions like friends Thanksgiving and incredibly fun sleepovers in the farmhouse. Tara and her family and especially Mrs. O'Connor were incredibly welcoming to me and to my family. I will always cherish the good memories we shared together.
Tara, wherever you are, I want you to know that I will forever grateful for our friendship and for all that it brought to my world. I love you and I hope you are in peace.
Love,
Caroline

Condolence: I've been grief stricken to learn of Tara's passing. I had the good fortune of having her and her Mom Mary in my life in my high school years. Their beautiful old farmhouse was a place of refuge for us. I have so many happy memories of sleepovers, making batches of silver palate chocolate chip cookies, laughing until we cried and singing along to our favorite indigo girls songs, and high school musical repertoire.
I am lucky to have known her, the impact she left on my life endures. I am very sad to know we will never have a happy reunion.
My condolences to her lovely family, my heart goes out to you.
with love,
Nicole Hayes

Condolence: I knew Kate for only a few weeks before her passing, and am extremely shocked and saddened. We spoke almost daily. I do know that she loved Keira very much. If a family member, or friend, could let me know what happened, and if there is a service planned, I would appreciate it very much.

Condolence: Kate I know you're in heaven; Kiera's Guardian Angel. I am going to miss our chat's and speaking Spanish to you. I look at your picture and all I can say is: I am going to miss you so much.
Kiera song with Amy Grant
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
When I feel afraid, think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
I will not forget your love for me
And yet my heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide, hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path
