Today the memorial services were held in Danville, CA for Kate. It was a beautiful service; full of love, sweet memories, testimony, hope in the Savior, and comforting music. Kate was and continues to be a beacon of hope to me, a source of comfort, and an empathic friend. It is not often in my life I've found a friend that understands my physical struggles in the way Kate did. I'll forever be grateful for her example of courage, unwavering faith, and for her friendship that will continue one day. I love you, Kate.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
