Kate, that was so beautiful and how my mom probably felt my about brother. So sad, I have a lump in my throat and dream to write like you Honey Tungue.

She was a force to be reckoned with; a gorgeous smile and eyes that could light up a darkened sky. She was loved and admired by all who had the unique pleasure of being in her company. May her memory be a blessing.

This was beautiful, Kate. Thank you so much. I never knew Maya, but she was a presence in my life through all of you who did. Sweet innocence and love are what's best in us.

Crying as I read this beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a very special person. Both your family and Maya’s family were blessed to have each other. And now, your readers are lucky enough to share Maya too. Thank you, Kate. Xxxx. With Love, Ele
