My friend, John's Aunt Catherine was a wonderful woman, who lived simply and happily. She loved going about town on her own, shopping and just enjoying being out and meeting people. She always had kind words for and about everyone, and was so interested in any new thing, too. Open-mindedly, she would try new things . . most recently, she sat at my friend's computer and actually enjoyed it, which at 95 is great! Most people of that age shun anything new. Catherine, however, was interested in learning, still . . .despite her failing health and restrictions on her treks around town in recent months. She will be sorely missed by all that knew her . . . especially her family who have cared so much for her in recent years. She was a wonderful lady who spread joy wherever she went.
Keep on dancing with the angels, Aunt Catherine!
