To the Borjon family, may God be with you in this time of sorrow. Cathy was a blessing to our family. She provided day care for our youngest daughter for 5 years. To have such a caring and loving person come to our home was a great comfort for us. Thank you, Cathy, and peace be with you. "Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile." Freddy & Yvette Ripoli.
