What a beautiful service for a fantastic Aunty. It was so lovely to be taken down memory lane. Gosh I will miss her. Memories of making candy floss - I mean how cool an aunty that does that! Walks and lesson in nature. Beautiful happy and chatty energy whenever she was in a room. Lots of love to you all. Lovely seeing all your faces. Love you ‘ArnieKate’ Victoria xx

So many happy memories of Kate, Brian and family over the years. Especially the fun of Glendhu Bay camping ground. Dunedin and Bayfield JC's I will miss Kate's annual newsletter each Christmas. My heart felt sympathy to all of Kate's family. She was so proud of you all.

Something for kate It is difficult to find fitting words to say goodbye to my aunty kate. She has always been a pillar of strength and true matriarch for the Gore/Miller family. She will live on in our memories as the loving woman she was and the only person to consistently be able to out prank her little brother. Love you aunty, you were a great one.

My memories of Aunty Kate were always that she encouraged and blessed and made you feel very welcome (oh and my first taste of earl grey tea😀).
