Kate was obviously very special to have so many people show so much love for her. I'm very sad for her family and friends. I wish I would have known you Kate, your photos show you so full of life and creativity. And you had a way of bringing people together! Rest in Peace Kate...
And thanks to Tiki Central for honoring her!

Godspeed, Kate.
If there is value in the number of friends we collect, you were a wealthy woman.

I am so shocked and saddened by the news.
I remember the first time I met Kate, at the Enchanted Tiki Room with Mieko. I remember being a little star-struck... like "Wow, Tiki-Kate! I've read so many of her posts on TC!" She was so nice, and funny, with a very dry sense of humor...
I sat next to her for the Tiki Room show. And she even put in an order for one of my first plush tikis! It's a great, and now a cherished memory.
We love you Kate, Manuel and I will miss you terribly!

My sincerest condolences. I did not know her but any loss to our community is hard to take. It sounds like this one may be a little harder to take.

My heart is saddened today. I didn't get to know Kate as many of you may have, but I enjoyed her company here on the board. I'm going to take a moment to reflect on our conversations and hope to see her in the island in the sky to finally meet her and thank her for being a great person.

I wish I could have known Tiki Kate.
To me, she will be a mythical figure representing the best of Tiki culture.
RIP

my heart dropped this morning in learning of this. i feel so incredibly lucky and honored to have met kate. i am still in disbelief that she has continued on, and is now in a better place and feeling all of this love. my thoughts are with her loved ones, family, and large circle of friends. once i get home, i'll be breaking out some of my brightest aloha-ware to remember her properly. you are missed tremendously kate.

"A heart is not judged by how much you love, but how much you are loved by others." (The Wizard of Oz)
If this thread is any indication of Tiki Kate's heart and life, then, brief though it was, it was outstanding.
Sending you aloha, Kate, wherever you're dancing.
