Rest in peace Cathy. I will always remember your infectious laugh. I so enjoyed getting to know you at Eastland Court. You will definitely be missed.
I took the confirmation name of Catherine because I loved her so. Such a sweet lady, and great sense of humor. My heart is with the boys right now – Tom, Mike and Colin. I know she was so proud of you. Love you all.
