Sometimes words don’t do justice. Kait was/is an absolute joy to be around. Life is more than rain/snow/ storms…she lit up the office when she arrived and it will dim the day she leaves. A wonderful human being as well as colleague. This happens a lot in our business…1/2 https://t.co/ysCzUOrffm

2/2. She has grace and beauty, but her unending “can do” attitude will be my lasting memory. Knock em dead kiddo. Never stop asking why and keep learning. Thanks for being a great friend. https://t.co/ysCzUOrffm
