A tree for Katherine from Sam - we both hope he and it will grow up to be as strong and yet as supple, as grounded and yet as able to listen to the wind, as flourishing and as beautiful, inside and out, as Katherine was and as her grove will remind us all to be! With much love from Sam, Kate and Martin. XXX

I was so sorry to hear the news. My deepest condolences to Alison and Mr McGillivray and to all Katherine's friends and fellow musicians.

It's easy to forget how much one life can make a difference to so many, but thank you for showing us how. You could see straight to the bottom of any situation and then laugh about it.
