Many blessed things come and go in this world. However, the light and love of Cathy will forever remain in our hearts and with our actions as we attempt to bring as much light in this world as was in her heart and is in her soul. We will walk every day with the knowledge of a peace that was in her smile and with her laughter. This will keep us strong as we reflect her strength to make the best out of this life and wait to rest at ease in the next. We love you Mike and love your family from afar. Mark, Liz and Joseph
