Can’t help but think how much Kathi would have loved this. Henna night,for crying out loud!! Wouldn’t she have been decorated beautifully?
You did it all and I’m sure she was with you.

Comment on Kathi’s Great Ideas on Narcotics by Robin Tovar

Dear Sam: I am very sorry for the loss of Kathi and I think maybe she and I were on the same wavelength. Do you believe in synchroncity and shared consciousness? I am a Tovar, but I don’t live in the Mission, I live in Daly City, near Mission street! I’m dying, or so I’ve been told, of End Stage Liver Disease, and I’ve had these fitful lucid dreams of a broken heart , I want to say “sculpture”. You know the sculptures that were installed along the Embarcadero, well maybe they still are? I thought that was what it meant, the ocean and a three storied house with a broken heart (sculpture?) inside. I too take pharmies,Oxycontin, which is basically synthetic heroine, for the pain and have attributed a lot of my strange dreams and waking ones,(I often times have an overload of ammonia in my bloodstream and do really squirrely things and have blamed them, but now I’m not so sure.
I believe there are forces beyond us, God, the Universe, a Dolly Levy for the brokenhearted, something that brings us together. If in fact I am that Tovar of whom Kathi spoke, I think what she wanted to let you know is that the circle is unbroken. She is fine: she misses you terribly but what hurts her is knowing that you are hurting. I’m sending positive thoughts to you, dear Sam, of the broken heart. Truly, you are not alone, rather WE are not alone.

Many blessings
Robin Tovar

Dear Sam,
I was surfing this morning and saw the sad, almost unbelievable news. I met Kathi long before her son was born, and did his astrological chart.
She saved the chart for 13 years, and then we did a review! What a woman!
What a Mom!
And she introduced me to her Mom, for whom I worked for a time.
Kathy, for sure, will be with us “in her many acts of goodness, and in the hearts of those who cherish her memory”.
May your lonliness fade in the sure knowledge you are still, eternally connected. She was SOOOO happy with you!!! imo abraham

Dear Sam,
I had the wonderful experience of meeting you and Kathi. I always remember the kindness you both showed to me and her beautiful smile.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish I could be more helpful with soothing words. But I know there are not words that can help at this time.

Be sure you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Sam, i’am just shocked about Kathi, what a doll. I met her in 2004. How she loved the Rockbottom Remainders, how she started it.

I lost my son at the age of 17, it gets you in the gut. Many years ago, but it never goes away.

Kathi, so beautiful, my prayers and heartfelt thoughts go out to you. GOD BLESS YOU SAM.

Friends through Authors,
Ramonda Brady

I will be seeing Ridley on July 2nd,2012.

dear sam, i’m just hearing this news today, as i lost my mother to cancer two days before kathy died and i haven’t been in touch with the world. i did a short intern stint with west coast live and i didn’t know kathi very well or long but i was so struck by how powerful she was, how funny and beautiful and strong. the last time i saw her we both didn’t recognize each other. “you look beautiful!” we said almost simultaneously. it was a sweet moment. i felt really blessed to be so recognized by a woman i so admire. i feel so blessed to have known her and i hope the love of friends and family carries you through what is inevitably the alone-ness of this grief. may there be some comfort in knowing that she is always with you, in every memory, in every breath. with peace and love to you and kathi, silvi
