Dear Uncle Frank & Family,
I am deeply sorry for you and your beloved family. I have always admired your family unity and know what a great loss this must be. I believe that when God finds it necessary to return one of His angels to heaven, it is because He is in need of a helping hand. Aunt Catherine is an angel. I pray that your memories of her will bring you and the family comfort and joy. Aunt Catherine“s spirit lives on in each of you. God Bless and Peace...Your God Daughter Jody
