Catherine is my dad's cousin. Tennis ran in that family and they enjoyed it so much. She is a beautiful, gracious woman. We always say we will get together and then we, as a family, meet at funerals and maybe weddings. More funerals than weddings in this family as the connections get further away. Thanks must go out to Suzie and her husband for all the care they gave her. It is a comfort to know she had such a full, beautiful giving life.
