This is probably the hardest words I have ever had to write for someone so young.
Kate passed away peacefully yesterday at the very young age of 43 with all her loving family around her. Kate had bravely battled with cancer for many years and always with a smile on her face even when times were tough.
Although Kate, Ian, Henry & Daisy were no longer members of the club they remained very close friends with so many members. Many of us kept contact with Kate on Facebook thoughout her brave journey with words of love and encouragement which we know she always appreciated.
Our thoughts are with all the family and close friends at this devastating time.
For the benefit of our newer members who didn’t know Kate, they marshalled many wonderful rallies with their close friends Martin & Helen Keen, notably Easter & Halloween rallies. The whole family were great fun to be with and were always game for a laugh and joined in everything with great enthusiasm.
R.I.P Kate, you will be sadly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing such a lovely lady.
