Catherine looked after my baby at the YMCA Child Watch in September several times. I was nervous leaving my 6 week old infant with just anyone, but the minute I met her, I knew she was special and would take wonderful care of Daniel. She did. She sincerely loved watching over the babies and know that she gave great comfort to hundreds of babies as well as mothers at the Harris Y. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Catherine will always be remembered in our hearts and minds. She was a woman that knew no strangers and was always there for anyone that needed comfort or aide. I know she will be greatly missed by all...especially the children.
