Catherine Gerke

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom and that I missed the visitation. This is such a touching tribute of your mom. I will remember her warm smile and the kind spirit you felt coming from within her. I´ll be thinking of your family as you walk through this valley of grief and praying for comfort and peace.

I have wonderful memories of Catherine Ann as a young boy. I still cherish the times we stayed at the farm. She was always so kind and loving, traits she obviously carried for the rest of her life. Her dedication to others, especially the poor, are extraordinary. God will surely bless her.

Katie lives on in my heart and memories. She was truly God´s gift to this earth and to all of us who were blessed to know her. What an exceptionally wonderful lady! My love and thoughts go out to her family. May each of you walk in her footsteps.

Katie was my classmate at MCSN. There are many happy memories. She was always such a nice friend. She is so blessed to be with Jesus now. I remembered her at Mass and in my rosary today. God bless you Katie.

Katie was truly a special lady. An inspiration for many. We are grateful she was part of all our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will be missed by so many.

Catherine was a neighbor at one time and later we worked together at Flowerland. She was the sweetest, kind hearted person . My condolences to all her children, I know you will miss her greatly.

I met Katie @ St Mary Magdalen Church many years ago. She always welcomed me with her warm, beautiful smile. We both would seek each other out in Church, often changing our seats to worship together. A very special woman and friend. Greatly admired by all who knew her!!

I am thinking of you all as you mourn the loss of your beautiful mother. Out of all of her accomplishments I see the beauty and strength in each of her children individually and collectively! I have watched with amazement the dedicated love and care you all gave to her - how proud she must be to have been loved so well! Peace to you all. She is now at rest - but her gifts live on in each one of you. Love, Theresa
