I am going to miss you Aunt Cathy. Our family gatherings wont be the same without you there to stir things up and keep us on our toes.
Who's going to give Brud heck for buying mom power tools for Christmas? Who's going to smear cake in grandma's face on her birthday? Who's going to have coffee with mom in the mornings? Who's going to be the Bingo-Banchee?
I always knew it was going to be a good night when I pulled in the driveway to see you and Joe were there. It seemed there was always something to dish about.
Doug and I, and everyone else, will miss your humor and your ability to make people laugh. We all have funny memories of you; I wish there could have been more.
I love you, and I will miss you Aunt Cathy....
