The number 444 holds a special significance for Kate and Liam. 

After his death, she referenced the angel numbers as she revealed they had been planning to marry in the weeks leading up to his pᴀssing. 

She wrote: ‘A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together.

‘I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, “Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged and together forever 444.” 

‘Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. 

‘I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go. Forever yours, Katelyn 444.’
