Dear Terri,Steve, Stephanie, Laura& Mary,
My heart aches for all of you and your extended family. Cathy has been in my prayers since I heard of her diagnosis.
May you find the strength & comfort you need during this trying time. I have fond memories of the Czopp girls at SJS, and loved Mary´s fb post about Little Women.
Since we are presently out of town, we will be unable to share in Cathy´s service, but we´ll be there in spirit!
