It was at a family Christmas gathering that I met Catherine, the sister of my brother's now fiancée. I am grateful I met her. She was a lovely lady.
May God comfort you in your time of great sorrow.

To My Fiance and her family: Catherine was an incredibly sharp woman with spunk! While I only knew her for a few years, she enriched my life and those around her. A terrible disease afflicted her in the second half of her life but she was always looking for that chance to improve. I know that she is in a better place with her sister Patricia, father James and mother Georgette, as her physical suffering on Earth is now over. May God bless her soul and give strength and peace to all of those family especially her son Matthew, daughter Kelly, and siblings James Jr., Penny, Mary, and Thomas remaining here on God's great planet.
God Bless you all in your time of grieving, Love, Robert J. La ROse
