I want to express my deepest sympathy to the Bisson family. Catie was one of the nicest young ladies I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, she is now an angel amoung us. Catie was my daughter's first color guard student at LHS, Renee was so excited to have Catie on the team, we fondly remember the hot summer days of practice at our home doing routines over and over. Catie will be dearly missed, please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
