My mother and I were devastated to learn of Catherine's death. She was a dear dear friend and neighbor and lived across the hall from my mother at 1000 SA. She would always invite us in for tea and leave cookies and candy for us on my mother's doorknob.

She was the most wonderful lady we have ever known and we will miss her terribly.
Rest in peace, Catherine.

We are all so very sorry for the passing of Mrs.Devlin. Surely it was our pleasure to have gotten to spend time with her over the years. She was a special, kind woman and our memories of her are all happy ones. No doubt she is sharing some long awaited hugs and smiles with Sue.
