Twin Heartbroken as Dancer Sister, 20, Dies From Rare Cancer
University of Kentucky dancer Kate Kaufling, 20, has died from a rare bone cancer on Sunday, just months after she shared a video celebrating the end of her chemotherapy treatment.
Her twin sister, and fellow UK dancer Abbey Kaufling, shared a tribute to her sister after her death was announced.
“My heart is in pieces having to write this. My sweet Kate you were my person. you were my safe space in human form,” she wrote. “Kate and I spent every minute of our lives together. From going on Kate’s first date with her to sitting on the floor talking while she showered, we couldn’t be separated.”
