Dearest Helen and Family,
Today I learned that Cathy passed through this world and I want you to know that I share your sorrow.
I remember what a compassionate heart Cathy had for animals. I remember her smile,and the way she laughed sometimes with a mischiveous giggle. I remember her youthful adventurous spirit.
I remember many happy times that I shared with Cathy and all the family and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace be with you all.
Love, Reggie
