It is with so much sadness that I create this thread. We have lost our friend katbur2 today. She was the fiercest of fighters & she never gave up. She was surrounded by her family, which gives me some solace. She had just celebrated 25 years of marriage with husband, Jim. She leaves behind him & their two beautiful teenage kids, Jonathan & Natalie. Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers. And tell those dear to you that you love them.
Also, we can discuss later, but Kate will have a tree on the farm next summer.

What a beautiful soul - I am crushed by this news. I have been so out of touch with everyone - had no idea that she was near the end, else I would have driven up to see her.
Since I am not on Facebook anymore, can someone please post details - assuming we are doing something for her family?

katbur2 I will never forget camping with you and your sweet husband in that crazy RV a few years back. You always had a smile for every situation and a moving and positive spirit through all of your pain. A part of you will live on in every person who was lucky enough to know you. I will admire you always.
She messaged me around the time I got love-bombed last year and I remember being so happy that she reached out! I'd heard so much about her! I finally got to meet her at Bonnaroo the very same year at brunch and she greeted me with the biggest smile. We talked for a bit and she gave me a bracelet. I know she loved this community and she will be missed.

Your signature quote is so fitting here <3
People Will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel
I only just saw this on the Facebook. My few interactions with her at Brunch over the years were pleasant, borderin' on overly joyful. katbur2, you will be missed.

I lost a member of my family when Kathy passed. She was one of the most amazing and wonderful people I have ever met. Even while fighting thru chemo, she would check up on me Twitter. She made me a better person. She was family to ALL of us.
I have video of her dancing at Guster from 2015. Once I get home, I hope to be able to share that with everyone. To her husband Jim (who has made me chuckle on many occasions) and her wonderful children, I offer my condolences and please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.

My sadness at losing a festival family member is only somewhat tempered by the love and happiness she brought into my life. My condolences to her family.

That trip in the Rv was the first time we met Kate and Jim. We met them at the Rv rental place and she immediately sat down and talked like we were old friends. That weekend was hard on everyone, hell, even a normal roo is hard on everyone. I always admired her for soldiering through with her condition and always having a great attitude and a smile. That's what I'll remember about her. She will be truly missed.
I heard this last night, but was too upset to post. We both lived in Wilmington, NC together for a time and would get together before Bonnaroo to discuss the lineup and have a lunchtime beer. She will be sorely missed.
Kate's friend Robin said that Kate told her a while back she would love to have a tree planted in her name at Bonnaroo. We can get this done by Roo 2017. JHOinTN is collecting funds for this endeavor. Send to julieahollis@gmail.com via paypal. We need about $730 for a tree and a plaque.
This time with her at the cabin is one of the strongest memories of Katbur that I have. After so many years of random interaction on inforoo - supportive interactions - and finally crossing paths in 2014 and her gifting me in a way that showed her clear perceptiveness was beyond words. I will miss you, and the tears I shed yesterday for you can't enumerate how much I will miss your spirit on this plane of existence. As once said before by BT: "And though I'm happy (s)he's no longer in the pain (s)he'd been recently feelin', I'm crushed by the pain of (her) absence"
What a beautiful soul - I am crushed by this news. I have been so out of touch with everyone - had no idea that she was near the end, else I would have driven up to see her.

I only had occasion to meet her briefly at a brunch or two or three - it's hard remembering sometimes, as you all know - but she was delightful in those small interactions, and just watching her, you could see the warmth she had within her. My thoughts are with her family.

on a much less serious note, that is an alarming amount of faux milk

I sent some but PayPal tells me it will be 11/17 before it's processed
She will truly, truly be missed. I am so saddened by this, and even though we knew this was coming, it still feels very sudden. I thought we had more time. I should've reached out the past few days just to check in and simply let her know that I've been thinking about her.
I first met her at the cabin, which was right after I found out I got into grad school and was realized I was really moving to Texas. Kat sat with me and talked with me in depth about all the fears I had about moving and I told her how nervous I was, etc. She calmed me down and assured me that I'd be fine. She then remembered this and at Roo gave me a bracelet with a charm she made just for me. I felt so calmed by her faith in me and even though I had just met her, after that weekend I felt like I'd known her forever. Like an old family friend. She just had that way about her. I will miss her. Even just seeing her updates on FB. I'm just at a lost. You will be sorely missed katbur2. <3
