Hi Tim
I have only just seen your post about Kate. I had been texting her but had no reply. She had told me she did not always feel up to responding so I just kept texting telling her I was thinking about her. Her last text to me was in June. We last met up in Feb/March last year for lunch in Kingston. She was very sad and not coping well that day. I will miss Kate she was a wonderful person and dear friend. We worked together at UCL. She was fun and engaging I always looked forward to meeting her for lunch in Kingston. I am thinking about you and Reuben and wish I had known earlier that dear Kate had passed away. Sarah x
