Catherine Osiecki

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I recently met Cathie and immediately knew she was a special person. We became fast friends and I enjoyed the time we worked together. I was always grateful to be scheduled along side Cathie. She will be missed terribly. To her family please know she was loved by a lot of people and we are better for having the opportunity of knowing her. My deepest condolences.

To Bob and Family May she be at peace and may God comfort you at this time. I remember her spirit as an educator and a kind person Beverly Towns

To her family, especially Bob and Janet, I am sending prayers and hopes for healing. I hope your memories help you through this difficult time. Karen Vodola
