Catherine R. Mahardy

As we turn the closing pages of this guest book for Catherine R. Mahardy, a brief, reflection on the character of this loving woman as evidenced by certain historical aspects of her passage through this life, might help us better trace the footprints she left in each of our hearts.
Although it would be accurate to describe this remarkable human being as extraordinary, it is precisely Catherine's labors over and attention to the ordinary which have canonized her forever in our...

Dear Grandma,
Merry Christmas!!! Yesterday we were thinking of you as we were drinking punch. I've had your punch bowl set for many years.

Dear Reynolds Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I've thought of you so very often over the past months.

I have been at the side of a loved one when they passed and it is a treasured gift to be a part of that kind of love. I know that in time, the sweet memories you...
