Our prayers are with the family. Hoping all the fond memories of Aunt Catherine keep everyone smiling, she seemed to always have a smile on her face, and loved her family very much. My fondest most recent memories are of time spendt during a party here on Cabin Hollow Road. Aunt Catherine enjoyed good times with the ones she loved. Her smiles were bright that day, sitting and talking to nana. May those smiles bring us all comfort during these difficult days.
Love Debbie (Vaughn) Kempson, Chris Kempson, Lauren and Cody Waltemyer
