Catherine, you were a beautiful woman and with such a big heart. Now its time for you to fly high. May you forever be in internal peace.

Jan and I have many memories with Cathy and John. Camping in Forest Home, trips through DeWitt Paint Store and visits to Cathedral City.

Because we lived far apart, I did not see Catherine very often. But whenever I did see her, she was always so welcoming and gracious to me as her sister-in-law. I admired her high energy and will miss her.
With love,
