Catie was a dear friend and a motivator to get me out for an early morning walk. I wanted to put her "News-Press" where she wouldn't fall trying to pick it up out of the drain pipe where the carrier threw it.

We will greatly miss the Grande Dame of the Alden Pines community. The sparkle in her eyes lit up the day. I'd give anything to have the golf swing she had when she was 90!
