To the entire Vasile family. We are so sorry for your loss. We only found out about Cathy's passing on Saturday. She was a great and brave woman. Our kids always referred to her as the "lunchroom lady" from their days at Sacred Heart. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Our memory of Cathy is a happy one, she left an afterglow of smiles when the day is done.

When asked about Cathy, we speak of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

Her afterglow reaches all the way to California.

Dear Bob, Pam and the entire family, My heart has been heavy and in prayer since hearing about Cathy's struggle with cancer this past year, especially when I heard she had taken a turn for the worse last month.

As Christ followers we can rest in knowing she fought the hard fight and is now at peace with the Lord. Only your Faith in God, your strength as a family and your memories of Cathy can eventually lighten the heavy burden you are all feeling.

I will continue to pray for your strength as you bring closure to Cathy's life this week and your love for each other as you recover from such sorrow.

With all our love and prayers,

Julie Howe, Paul Fileds and Family
