Kirsty I hope you are at peace and you have a Thousand Cats to keep you company.
The strongest person I have ever been in the presence of.
Dearest Kirsty,
I can honestly say, you were the kindest person I have ever known.
I hope you have found your Wonderland and managed to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile.
I learnt alot from you Mrs Douglas -Ward 😉
And I promise I will use this to better myself.
You had such faith and belief in me.
I hope you knew how much I was in awe of you.
Rest easy Kirst x
To my lovely Boobette sister. I hope you are at peace and no long in pain ❤️ I hope you are reunited with your lovely cats, our other Boobettes and sprinkling everyone in glitter. You really where one heck of a woman, and words cannot describe how unique and lovely you where.
I will miss you dearly but will
Keep you in my heart and memories.
Thank you for being you.
From Youthwork to potterytribe to Wonderland to Oz and magical places, to journeys of laughter, tears and strength like no other.
My friend I miss you but know you’re flying high with cat souls, music and sunshine, rainbows and sunflowers galore. Make sure you fly in from time to time and check in. Til we meet again dear Kirsty you will forever be imprinted and carried in our hearts. Sending love, light and strength to everyone who loves you.
‘For good’ from Wicked
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend
I wish you knew how loved you were by so many, the impact you have had and the smiles you still create.
Your soul will continue to weave its magic as we all carry you with us.
My beautiful friend, shine bright x
My dearest wife. We’ll always be together, however far it seems. Together in electric dreams. I love you. X
You were and still a truly amazing person. I can’t believe i was so lucky to call you a friend and have you in my life.
We met through rescue and your love of animals.
Thank you for always being kind, generous, honest and beautiful.
I miss our chats, where we couldnbe brutally honest and open but always have a laugh.
Kirsty you were unique and smart and light in everyone’s life who knew you.
Love you
Sophia and Billie xx
Today will be a hard day for so many, but may the laughter flow and may many beautiful memories of you be shared in abundance today and always.
You have forever changed me and many others. I don’t really think you knew half of the impact you had on those around you but today I pray you feel the love and sense just how much you meant to us all. You will be in our hearts and minds forever. Xx
Kirsty, the strongest and bravest woman I know. What a great lady you were!
I am so grateful to have met you, and I will miss you dearly.
I will never forget you! xXx
