Well, my friend, you are finally in peace-no pain. You are home again with your mom, dad, brother and Molly. Your new life will be with God and our buddy St, Jude. I will continue praying for you even though you are no longer here on earth. I will watch over your sister, Laura and your loving pets, Rbony and Pumpkin, even if I am allergic to cats.
You are a special angel and you blessed my life with your kindness and worrying about my arm, I didn't get a chance to tell you that I can raise it up.
I will miss your smiling face, Thanks, Cathy, for being you, I love you,
Kathi and Charlie Brewster
