Support for Kate's Final Journey and Celebration

Hello everyone. Delfino Alvarado here. Kate Haugen Alvarado's husband. Some of you knew her as Kathryn Alcorn growing up in Kingsville and is a former H.M. KING HIGH Graduate.

It is with a heavy heart to say she has gone to be with our Lord and Savior last Sunday, September 15th at 6:22 pm at Corpus Christi Spohn Shoreline Hospital.

Kate spent 40 days there ultimately losing her battle to Covid and two drug resistant bacterial infection pneumonias.

Kate and I knew each other since we were 10 years old. Destined to be together eventually as we still had childhood photos of each other so many years later. Never has there been anyone so attached to my soul as she was...nor I to hers.

Kate had a kind heart and looked after me in ways I still don't understand. For that I am eternally grateful. She impacted many souls and I'm sure they'd feel the same way.

I am raising funds for her cremation, services to release her ashes where she hoped to end up, and travel arrangements adding to the costs for her, me and any of her few closest friends who may need assistance that she always hoped could attend. The release of her ashes is still up in the air until I'm able to hit the goal to pay for what we need and she rightfully deserves. I was opting for three possible dates, our anniversary of when we got together October 6th, her birthday of October 18th, or October 26th.

Kate had no children except our fur babies that she worried immensely for them should anything happen to her, leaving me with their charge and a bunch of our business bills that she helped me create that I will continue to operate in her honor. My company PICKLE ME THIS, which will be her legacy, she had worked tirelessly to help me achieve it's successful stature over the last 4 years.

Kate always lent a hand to anyone in need and would often give when she had nothing left to give. So I ask of you to please help me in honoring the biggest influence I've ever had in my life and my soul mate that taught me that true love really does exist.

So I'll end with these parting words for her:

I'm hollowed out. Empty and lost. My muse has gone. Your light flickers only in my heart. I can't feel. I only taste the sting of loss of purpose. I struggle to focus on promises I've made. I'm in a dream where I'm running but can't move. How do I create truth, trust and belief without you? Manifestation seems but an unproven hope. It's as if I'm stuck between this world and the next as I try to will my soul to follow you. There's no vessel to assist me in sight. A great source of joy has forsaken the very essence of my reality. There is only void. I commend my life force to that realm, that royal domain, THE kingdom that you are now forever a part of. Do Not forget me, my spirit screams. Forever keep your beacon lit so as to guide me til I find you again. My persistence must prevail. I must find you. I will find you. You own my heart. You always have. You always will. Use it to strengthen you till my arrival.

My sweet Katie Rabbit! ❤️ Until then...
