TRIBUTES
Kate, I will miss you so much but feel blessed with the time I got to spend with you and feel very lucky to have you as my gran. I will always remember your humour and quick wit. Thank you for sharing your secrets to being in your 90s.
While I don’t promise to ever ‘grow up into an adult’ and start drinking coffee ;-), I will follow your lead and try to: Travel as much as possible; Enjoy growing vegetables; Not let people tell me I am too old to do things; Remember cleaning will always be there so I shouldn’t let it get in the way of doing other things; Enjoy red wine and chocolates in your memory.
All my love

I knew her through the civil service retirement association. It was so good of her to let us have our coffee mornings in her house when numbers grew too small for us to hire a hall, and before that to host our annual garden party. I will always remember sitting in her garden drinking coffee and eating the cake made by members, looking out over the wonderful view from there. Miraculously it never seemed to rain for those garden parties.

I remember Kate’s smiling face when she picked me up from school with Frank, I remember not recognising her one time because she either was or wasn’t wearing her glasses, which I imagine must have been bemusing for her. I learnt quiet lessons from Kate, not from what she said but what she did. I learnt to mix your shampoo with water in the bottle when it got low so that it lasted longer (Kate was an environmentalist without knowing it). I learnt to just go for it and travel and see the world.
Lots of love to you Kate
