Cathy with a "C". We have many memories of weekend bingo games in Maine. The laughs, jokes, your energy and the friendship that came from it.
If you meet up with my Mother, see if she is still playing with the "deuces"!
Our heartfelt sympathy to all the loved ones she leaves behind. May God grant you healing and peace with this loss. She is in a better place.

Love, Teri, Russ and Chris

Cathy with a "C"... I will never forget your humor and body-packed energy whenever we spent time on bingo trips to Maine. Through many of these trips, your family and mine became "family". May you rest in peace and when you see my Mother, find out if she's still has those deuces!
Our deepest sympathy to Al and the rest of the family.
