Catherine Munson

Catherine was one of my best friends and my "Madrina" (Best Woman vs. Best man (Unique, I know) when Jane and I were married in 2009. She was a mentor and a confidant who is missed. Can't believe it has been five years since she left us. You continue to live on in our hearts Catherine.

I was young, 16 years or so, I knew Lisa Munson through a group of friends, I was a Terra Linda boy who spent my time playing in a band that rehearsed at the Lucas Valley Rec center. I met on several occasions Mrs' Munson, Lisa's Mom. I remember a very soft spoken kind woman. She impressed me with her graciousness and professional posture, Very nice. Im sorry to hear of her passing & My condolences to the family. I somehow stumbled upon this while researching Eichler Homes

Learning of Catherine's passing this month took my breath away. Her bright light and graciousness, her many kindnesses to members of my family... What a wonderful heart and mind you have shared with so many, Catherine. My mother who loved and admired her, and who struggles now to hold a thought, put it plainly, "Catherine was truly one of the good ones."

I am very touched and sorry to learn about Catherine Munson's passing. We met in the fall of last year and spent a wonderful afternoon together - sharing our love of post-WWII modern architecture and personal experiences as well. There and in follow up correspondence she came across as an enlightened, fun, and compassionate woman. I was hoping to come back to California later this year and see her again.
To her daughters and their families all the best.

Catherine will for ever hold a spot in my heart. I work at a few different restaurants and have had the pleasure of waiting on Catherine numerous times. She was always kind and caring. It was a pleasure to get to know her. :-)

Lisa, Shelley, Adrienne and families
My heart goes out to you.
My parents bought an Eichler from your mother
They loved their home
I share with you growing up in Lucas Valley, living in a glass house
those hills, the oaks a backdrop to childhood
Miller Creek meandering
waking to the thwack of tennis balls
or cows mooing in the morning
falling asleep to peacocks screeching at night
or the comforting patter of rain on the roof

what would life be like without...

My deepest sympathy to Shelley, Lisa and Adrienne. Your Mom has been a friend since meeting through Alan Rosenberg 35 years ago. Whether it involved buying or selling a property, which was always an education, to sharing a diner, Catherine was always gracious, offering wise counseling, sharing a laugh and always a friend.

During the celebration of Catharine's live I recorded a few speakers. Underneath you can click on the links to see the various recordings.
