Catherine was a very special woman to me. I adored spending time with her as a child. She always had a way of making me feel that I was special. I have one memory of which I am particularly fond of; It is when I got a hold of some of her hormone pills as a little girl. She didn't get mad at me. Instead she laughed and told me I would probably grow big boobs :-). Who knows, maybe my size has something to do with that afterall. I hope she is spending time with John and that my mother and her are continuing on with their friendship in heaven. We may not have been related in blood, but to me the Vasos's have always been family.



I love you Catherine! You are and always have been a beautiful woman, both inwardly and outwardly. You will be missed.



Love,

Kristine
