John, Cindy and kids, Mark, Lisa and kids, Paul, Cheryl and kids - may you continue to be blessed with the strength and grace to carry you through this very sad time.

I miss you Cackie (Aunt Catherine). Your courage and determination in meeting the many challenges in your life were an inspiration to so many of us. Your bright spirit brought so much light, laughter and joy to all who knew you. I'll bet you're up there now telling the angels jokes they've never heard... Keep on shining your light!
Much love from niece Mary
