Ms. Karen, Vic, Wendy and Stacey, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Just think about all the wonderful times you've shared over the years and hopefully it will make things a little easier. I never had the chance to meet Ms. Catherine, but if she was anything like the rest of you ladies, then she was a wonderful person.
