Not sure what to say?

Nine years later and Catherine is still in my mind as one that searched for adventures and enjoyed life with Trixie . She made the best Pozole ....!!!!!!

I first met Catherine at her wedding to Vince in Bear Valley. I remember how stunned (and unprepared) we were when it snowed that weekend.

Now she is on her last adventure.maybe in another soul..........missing you....!

Miss you. Love, Susan
