Catherine V. Bateman

Twelve years and you are still in our daily thoughts ! I have a "Stone" on my desk that Ern & Cathe created in July 2006. It says "Jesus loves you, but I'm his favorite"
I bet you still are !
I know you were always proud of your children and you still have every reason to be so.
Ern was lucky to have you, and thus we also were blessed by knowing you.

To Auntie Cathe,
You truly were like an angel on Earth. Beautiful both inside and out.
There is no doubt in my mind that you are singing with the angels in Heaven. I feel blessed to have had you as my Aunt and Godmother. You will be truly missed, but it is a great comfort to know that you are with your Lord and of course friends and family who passed before you, especially dear, dear Uncle Ernie.

Aunt Cathe' will be deeply missed. Although she is in a better place we will miss her here. I thank God for the time we had with her and the love she imparted on others. We will never forget the love she shared with us.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast...

You were a very special person and Aunt, you will always be missed.
Lots of Love,
Debbie, Billy, Brett, Joey & Nick
