Catherine Eileen Coonen

Hi MS Catherine another year has gone by and we been busy as a bee. Your Mom been traveling alot and I have been staying home with the girls we have 3 rescues now. August 2 2022 we drove to Bristol, VA to do a rescue foster for HALO which turned into a rescue. She's MS Tessa and 11 years old. She's more active like MS GiGi and MS Nora has turned into a bed/couch bum. MS Tessa jumped off the couch in December and tore her ACL and Patella Ligament so she had to have surgery and we carried her up and down the steps for 4 months trying to keep her from running/jumping as she's all healed up now. MS GiGi will be 15 July 8 and with her Kidney Disease last 3 years she has really slowed down with her age. We been giving her IV here at home the last 7 weeks trying to give her a normal life. Your Mom has been puttering outside the French doors going out the dinning room and got it looking nice with 2 big umbrellas/tables, concrete pavers, painting steps going out and lots of flowers all over the back yard. Found out in April Joshua and Shannon going to make us grandparents again with another grandson in September. Aidan growing up in a hurry as he's 28 months old. We think of you often and always wondering what you would have been doing right now if you were still with us. Take Care Caty Girl we Love You.

HI MS Catherine another 3 years have gone by missing you as we wonder what you would be doing at 31 years old. We been busy got the kitchen/dinning room opened up to 1 large room, all new appliances and all the goodies. It's been a rough last 12 months my Mom (Erleen) joined you June 8 2021 so she will be playing the organ for you to sing and dance everyday and my middle brother (Chris) just joined yal June 20 of this year. I got heart broken 2 and a half years ago as our Dollee girl we had to send to Doggie Heaven from Cancer. Your Mom thought it was too early but we got a new addition 6 weeks later Ms Nora. All 3 we have rescued were Havanese Girls mostly white in color. Nora doesn't like to run and rip in house/yard like GiGi and Dollee did. Now Ms GiGi she will be 14 July the 8. She's still so spicy and nosey most of the time, but slowing down a little with her age. We think about you often and miss you. My son Joshua made us Grandparents in Feb 2021, as him as his Fiancé had a boy Aidan. With all this Covid Virus we haven't seen him much, but sure you already knew that. Keep a singing and dancing SWEET GIRL!! Love Neil

Hi MS Catherine alot has happened since last seeing you with me and your Mom. We got 2 Havnese Pups GiGI & Dollee and the girls give us alot of fun. Sadly Tigger got so bad we had him put to sleep and we have his ashes on the mantel. Since you weren't around I married your Mom. We have been doing alot of remodeling of the house the last 2 years and starting next week the kitchen remodel. We talk often about what steps of life you would be accomplishing at the many eventful next steps if you were still here. I try my best to take care of your mom as we continue in life. I remember the many times I would go by Pulliams BBQ after work and bring you and Ian hotdogs. We miss you Catherine Girl and think alot about you. Remember Bread's Song "If a picture paints a thousand word then why can't paint you" Those words always make me remember you. I miss and Loved You my SWEET GIRL !!!

My sweet, sweet Caty You are in my heart everyday! I will dance again with you one day!
I love you so much! Terrilynn

hey caty
today is your 19th birthday and I am soooo excited! I remember how we used to count down all the time to our birthdays. I did it again for mine, and then yours only 41 days after. We loved our birthdays!!! But you loved and cherished everyday!!! I miss you so much Caty. Its almost been 7 years. I miss you sooo much. I have never had a friend like you, you are truly one of a kind. No one understands me like you did. I miss my "bffl". We had so many good times, a few not so good, but what friendship doesn't. I wish that I could come talk to you right now, but I won't be selfish because I totally understand God wanting to have you near. The thing that helps me when I get sad about missing you is being happy that you're happy because you have made so many people happy, that is what you deserve...Well i'm going to have to cut this short, can't really see the keys anymore from my tears. I love you so much Caty and miss you so much. You are the sun in my life. I know even when I can't see you, you're somewhere brightly shininng. LYLAS

For Our Darling Caty,
I remember how much fun we had at the Fair the last night you were here. The picture you had taken (with the funny hat on)sits right next to my bed where I can look at it every morning and Granddad has the poem you wrote him next to his bed. So you see, you are in our thoughts every day. We will love you always.
Nana & Granddad Mulhearn

Happy Birthday! I remember your infectious smile and that bright red hair! You always loved everything and thought everything was interesting - we will miss that forever - the way that you looked at life. I think that you are lighting up Heaven now with your smile and laughter. Keep it up!
Love, Renee'

Hi, Thinking of you all on this special birthday, Katy I am sure will be singing with the angels. Take care and god bless, Marlene, Alan and family "England"

Happy Birthday Caty! I didn't know you but I do know your Mom, Neil & Elizabeth. And I've known your Aunt Colleen for many years. Just by knowing them I can imagine what a special girl you were! Keep smiling.

My sweet Caty, Oh how I remember that bright smile!! Just today as Bren and I talked about him wanting to cut his bangs off I told him about the time you did, we both laughed and then cried! 18 years old, WoW! I look at my Taylor and always see refelections of you and how you loved everyone so much! Tay and I sit around and think of you often and always tell our new neighbors all about you and the kindness you always showed us all. We miss you and love you and know one day each one of us will be with you in heaven dancing! Terrilynn

Message from mona hughes ,
Hi you two. I loved Caty so much as you well know. I think of her more on the July 4th than her birthday actually. love to you two and Ian, he misses her a lot too. Aunty Mona

To My Baby..
Having a 18th Birthday and Graduating High School. Two very important days in a life. I know everyday was important to you. You found something in everyday to be excited about. Im amazed at how some people know how to live life that way and others will never know how~ even when they want to. I was so lucky to be blessed having such a beautiful daughter that was so wise beyond her years.
You are so alive in me still. I cant believe its been almost 6yrs. My life has stood still in so many ways,it still feels like yesterday you were here giving me foot massages. I counted down your Birthday for the last several months just like you and Gabby used to always do, I felt your excitement just like I always did before. A heart as big as yours never fades. It fills me everytime with your warmth.... when I Thank God for blessing me with 12years with an angel like you.
Im am always so proud of YOU.
Momma

Dearest Caty:

We think of you regularly even when it is not your birthday. Mitchell mentions you a lot and how much he misses you. We are sure that you are on to your next opportunity in heaven.

With affection,

The Tagues

Hello Catherine
Your Mom and Myself just brought Flowers and our Baby (GIGI)to visit you on your birthday. We talked about what it would have been like celebrating your 18 Birthday!! I'm sure you would have have soo many things to do even if we weren't included. We miss you "Precious Angel" and think about you every day. We both LOVE YOU!!

MAUREEN & NEIL & GiGi

Oh, my, little Caty,
You were so loved by your Mom and Dad. I only knew you for a short time but you touched my life in a very special way when you lived in Nevada. Your Mom and I were best friends and I was blessed to be with your Mom when you were born. What a day that was!!! I am was so sad to hear what happened and never knew what to say to your parents. I know you are in Heaven now, and I am sure you are dancing in the presence of the Lord. Keep it up and we will see you again soon!! I love you Caty.

You touched and inspired our lives!

Caty!
i miss you so much. But i know for sure that you are looking down on everyone all the time. Your smile always brightened my day when I would see you at church. Pfafftown Baptist just isn't the same without you. I always think of how much fun you would have at Caswell. But heaven is probably better than Caswell all the time. i love you girl. and everyone misses you!
ill see you one day.
I guarantee it :)
i love you.
Tori

I know it is a few days since Caty's birthday - but I am wearing a "memory band" on my wrist today for Caty. Max and I remember Caty with much joy, though we didn't get to spend a lot of time with her because we live in Australia. One of my favorite memories is at her grandparents (my parents) 50th anniversary - dancing the twist with Max! I will add a photo later.



Tonight we will have a group of friends over for a Bible Study and as a part of our worship time we will listen to the song "I Can Only Imagine" in memory of Caty. I can't listen to that song without getting a little misty eyed (it was played at her funeral and beautifully expressed in sign language by a friend). When I hear it I always picture Caty dancing around in circles with Jesus!



With much love, Aunty Kathleen & Uncle Max

Caty, Yesterday was your 15th Birthday. We miss you so much and wish we could celebrate with you as we did when you turned 12. One of my favorite pictures was taken in the restaurant with you between Granddad and me, hugging both of us.

Caty,

I was just getting to know you.

Your poem & song really touched me. You are amazing. I will miss you until I see you on the other side.

D.B.

I will miss Caty's laughter and light heartedness. Her sweet smile and hugs and openess and honesty. I look forward to seeing her again in our Father's house.

Love in Christ,

B.

Caty was a wonderfully welcoming spirit. She welcomed us to Pfafftown with a ready smile and a warm hug everytime we saw her. I looked forward to seeing her whenever I came to church. I will miss her very much.

B&J

B.

I'll always remember my little star on stage. Rapunzel, who couldnt pronounce her "r's". Her vibrant smile will be with me always.

C.K.

Caty was a pure joy of a person. Her beauty emanated from her heart and could not be contained inside her. My consolation is that she is now living with Christ whom she loves and who cherishes her.

S.P.

When I look at Caty's face it doesnt look like her, because its missing her smile. When I see her body it isnt her, because its missing her beautiful soul and spirit, which is now in heaven-happier than she ever could of been here. I hurt for her family because of their loss, but its hard to be sad when I know she is with Jesus, singing, laughing and just begining her eternal life...

When thinking about Caty it doesnt take more than a second for a pleasant memory to come. Everyone that's ever met her has happy thoughts of Caty. The most recent memory I have of her is the last night of VBS a couple of weeks ago. She was helping out in the class that I was co-leading. All week she'd been running errands for the leaders of various classes, talking to and encouraging the children and doing whatever she could do to be helpful. The leaders of our class appreciated her so much and the last thing we said to each other before leaving Thursday night was what a cheerful, encouraging and sweet person Caty was.

This memory along with so many others are what I will cherish about Caty. Her beautiful voice, outgoing personality sweet smile and the way she always addressed whoever she spoke to by calling them by name.....she made people feel as though they were a special part of her world as she was so glad to of met them.

Im so glad to of met Caty and I'll remember her always as I look forward to seeing her again someday in heaven.

With Love in Him,

K.Q.

Dear Caty,

You will be my bestfriend 80 years from now. Everyday I will remember you, and how good a friend you were and still are.

Love Always,

H.

I love you Caty.

J.C.

Caty,

I met you two years ago at Old Town Elementry while I was substitute teaching. I found you to be an outstanding student. You were always kind and willing to help others. You always made me feel special when you saw me. I guess your willingness to serve was needed elsewhere. We will miss you.

K.D.B.

What a beautiful, wonderful person! Always so full of life and wanting to be of help. I will always remember her happy smile and love of people. She gave so much of herself without hesitation. She will always hold a special place in my heart. She will be truly missed. It is comforting to know she is in heavan being of help and being her happy self.

C.T.

What a special lady Caty was.

There was never a time when I didn't see her smile. She always brightened up the room by her presence. But I will never forget when Caty sang "her song" for Pastor Craigs anniversary. She will be greatly missed.

D.T.

Caty was always so energetic and cheerful. I loved the way she would always run up to me with a HUGE smile everytime she saw me and hug me. She was always so friendly to everyone.

Love L.S.

PS: Im sure she is teaching the angels new cheers in heaven!

Caty was so vivacious & always had something to say! She wasnt afraid of being herself & wasnt ashamed to stand up for Jesus! Caty is loved by many.She brought a smile to everyones face!

N.L.

Caty, We will miss you! It will never be the same in cheerleading without you.

Loud and Proud

Love always,

Caty:

Sweetie you really touched my heart! I love you and will miss you terribly, but I know I will see you again in heaven! There will always be a part of you in my heart! Such a awesome young lady you are.

Hugs & Kisses

Dear Caty,

I will truly miss you, especially the hugs you would give me every morning before school started. I could count on you to brighten my day. I will remember you always.

Love,

Mrs. B.P.

Your Principal

Caty-

We love you so much. Your joyous spirit will remain in our hearts forever.

J.

Dear Caty.

You were obviously loved, look at all the people here. Even knowing you very little you still have made a big impression on me. I remember visiting you at your home and learning how you were so young but how in love with God you were. Now you get to show him in person. Your Family is in my prayers.

With Sincerity,

J.C.

I loved Caty so much! She was a sweetheart-so outgoing, fun, compassionate & witty. She's the 'kid sister' I never had. (Im an only child) When my father died, she sent me a sympathy card. It touched me so, I cried.

My Friend Caty

Caty was a the bestfriend everyone wished they had but can't seem to find. She would use the term LYLAS

(love you like a sister) often but never in vain. Caty was so nice you can understand why God wants her next to him. I know she is up there blooming in God's already precious garden. Caty will alwys be cherished in my heart, and everything I accomplish will be dedicated to her first because she taught me a valuable lesson. You can't take the life of anyone you know for granted and I thank her deeply. I will forever be grateful. She will never be forgotten but always be remembered as funny,kind and caring, and all of my acheivements from this day forward will be dedicated to her. Catherine Eileen Coonen.

My Friend Caty.

G.E.

I have such fond memories of Caty.

When she walked into my kindergarten class at Old Town School, there was such happiness. No matter what, she always kept a smile and a love for everyone around her. She was such a giving child. I have wonderful memories of our class trips. Oh and the time she cut her hair in Kindergarten. She came in and said "What do you think, huh?"With such a big grin. Caty has her wings and Heaven is happy to have Caty Coonen.

Love,

Mrs H.

Caty~

The song "Pass it On" is being played now.

We who are left. will try to

"pass on" your legacy of laughter and joy and love and giving~

You are a beautiful creature.

G.

It makes me so proud to have known such a girl with so much love for life and so muchy love for everybody.

Caty has made me a better person for knowing her.

She is my inspiration.

To have known Caty is to know what love is and to know how to really care and love everybody, no matter who thay are.

I love her like my own daughter. She will always be my CatyLady.

Im so proud of her,SO PROUD.

I Love You Caty!

H.S.

Caty,

You were always a wonderful friend to my daughter G.E. I am so pleased she had the opportunity to know and love you. She learned so much from you, about friendship and consideration. She was truly blessed to know you. I too, have been blessed by you. I will never forget the times we met in stores around town and you were always so sweet, polite and cordial to me. I was so impressed by your ability to articulate. Your bubbly personality will forever be an example of how we should all conduct ourselves with one another. I will always remember that, and will never forget you. Jesus loves you so much he wanted you for himself. Thats all.

Love,

R.E.

I will never forget what a great friend you have always been to me. I will always miss you. The way you always made somebody laugh. The way you always made somebody smile. You will live in my heart forever as the best of friends. Caty I miss you now and that will never change but I know you are happy and if it gets crowded save me a place.

LOVE ALWAYS

G.E.

LYLAS

Thank you God for Caty and the silliness & the laughter she always had with her. Thank you for her desire to serve you & follow you with her child-like faith. Caty will always be an example to us of what a willing servant is. So many people love her and I know she loved all of them with all her heart. I will miss you Caty.

Caty....gone but not forgotten.....

Caty,

There is no doubt in my mind you walked, no ran(!)into the arms of Jesus.We will miss you. I love you spunky girl. Can't stop talking about you. Thank you for leaving behind your song.

In Memory and in Honor of
Caty's 15th Birthday....
May 27,2006
I am going to enter some loving comments.
Comments that were written on cards.(see photo in gallery)
Cards that had a self-portrait that were handed out at Caty's funeral.
The posting of these loving thoughts and comments are long over due....
I have cherished every word since the day I first read them.
God Bless You Baby on Your 15th Birthday!

My Hero is my little sister Caty. She was the most loving person I have ever met. Her life inspires me to try to be that way to everyone to everyday. Though no matter how hard I try, I know I will never touch as many people as she did in the 12 years she was here, even if I live 100 years. She was truly special, and if you never met her, you are the one who has suffered a loss, not me. Knowing her and being loved by her were the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. :0) EMC

Life is so strange, it seems through your death a new closeness between your mum and I which I am thanful, so from where you are you are still doing amazing things God Bless you Caty and thankyou for all the love that I feel you are sending to us.

Caty~

You always have been truly a beautiful person. Yes, gorgeous on the outside, but your true beauty came from the inside. Your sweet spirit and kind heart will always be admired and remembered. Your outward beauty is what attracted people, but your inward beauty is what captivated them. Most important the unfading beauty of your gentle spirit is of great worth in God's sight.

(1Peter3:3-4)

I hadn't done it yet but i think its about time to do so. I will never forget the things we did together and they will be my most treasured memories. We will see each other again another day and I will never quit loving you.

Love,

Ian

Happy Birthday Katy your memories live on in all our lives. God Bless to her mom and Elizabeth and Ian. Thinking of you all.

Happy 14th Birthday sweetheart!



Today is a very special day.

Your class at NW Middle school is graduating. I have a feeling by the end of the ceremony it will be known it is your birthday. I know you love celebrations. I have the biggest most beautiful bouquet of flowers anyone has ever seen to bring and set in front of the podium. Nothing is too beautiful for you. You have left so many footsteps in so many hearts. I know God continues to work with us all, through the love you left us with. I am so very proud of you.

I Love You,

A picture of Caty from 5th grade will be added to her memorial stone next. We have thoughts of a bench for her, under the tree, it will be the next token in the works.

Just wanted to see how things are going. Caila and I think about Caty alot. Keep in touch

After speaking to Katy's mum I felt as if although Katy's life was short she was a really special little girl, one that was truly loved and blessed with a wonderful mum. God Bless

A Bit of collections I have worked on



http://hometown.aol.com/coonen/myhomepage/profile.html

Caty's Book will always be posted here.



I am so thankful for each and every entry here. I have read them all several times. All these words of Love for Caty have brought me so much comfort with so many blessings.

Please write as often as possible. Id like to soon post some entries here of many other notes of Love that I have been received over this last year. Id also like to add some more pictures soon.

God Bless,

The brief time I had the pleasure of knowing Caty was truly that(a pleasure). The pure heart, the desire to please and bring joy to others set her apart from so many.The Christmas when my nephew was the bluest of blues Caty helped him remember what it was all about. A simple card she made right then and there brought a smile on his face when all else had failed. You are truly missed and loved.

Caty...Wow. What is there to say about you other than wow? You were such an amazing girl and its hard to believe your gone, but not forever, i know we will all see you once again when we come to join our Lord. I met you a few years ago at the Packers field, and i'm very happy to be able to say that. I am sooo glad I got to know you. It's been a while since you passed away, and I don't know if anyone even still reads these entrys but it's important to me, even though I didn't sign it farther back. I was way to upset then. I really miss you. You brought a smile to everyone's faces, and it was one happy one. You said that people got annoyed by you easily sometimes. That is only because they are jealous that they cannot always be as happy and sweet as you are. You were very special and I loved you. I think about you everyday and still cry over you. It's usually tears of grief, but also joy that you are in a great place. Know that I will ALWAYS love you and i will NeVeR forget you girl! xoxo. I love you!

Peace and Comfort to Caty's family. I love all of ya'll!

I've known Caty for 5 years and we were the best of friends.We started cheering together for about 4 years. Caty was my best friend and a loving, caring person that wanted everyone to be her best friend. I really miss her alot these days, but I know she is watching over us. Caty has truly made ALOT of foot prints in my heart that will last a life time. I love u Caty!

We all miss Caty very much. She was a great addition to the packer feild. I cheered with Caty for about 7 years she always had a smile and aways found a way to cheer me up.She truley was an angel of god. Ilove and miss her very much, But atleast now I know she is always with me and the rest of us. She is in a better place. I love you Caty, I wont EVER forgt you, Thank you!

Hey ... I really miss Caty...I have known her for about ...7 years. I first started cheering with her when we were 5 or 6 for the packers. She had a lot of spirit..she always put me in a really good mood. I also went to old town with her and northwest. I also rode the bus with her. I remember sitting with her everyday and when she got on she had this big smile everyday. I can only remember maybe 1 or 2 days when she was upset. When I was upset Caty always had a way of comforting me and making he feel better and lettin me see the bright side of every situation. She gave great advice too. I just want to let the Catys family and other friends that I am very sorry for this misfortune but we all know Caty is in a better place.



I LOVE YOU CATY ! LYLAS! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME !

my past year at packers was my first and i was so excited because me and caty had always talked about cheerin together for them. but unfortunatley that dream was never able to come true! i loved caty with all my heart as a best bud and sister and still do and miss her so much! but shes still in my thoughts and prayers and i kno shes in countless others! i love u caty!!

Coonen Family- I really didn't know Caty that well, But I am very sorry she is gone, she will be in our hearts forever, Caty, we love you and miss you..We wish you hadn't gone so soon..Everytime I cheer I think about you. CATY I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH! I HATE THAT YOU HAD TO GO SO SOON..To The Coonens- Everyone misses Caty, especially me!

I have known Caty for about 3 years and when I just started cheering she was there for me and asking if i needed help i was shy back then so of course i said no but still she would be my insperation. Then when it came to be my second year we became friends and she had so much spirit that will always be a part of the Packers. Her spirit is something you can't explain in words. If you did not no her then you were missing out on God's Little Cheerleading Angle as i like to call her. I love and miss her so much and when you here that song I can only imagine it makes me cry and CATY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I had only Known Caty for two years and that was throgth the packers and school...She shined when she cheered..everday she was at the packer feild she was up and willing to do anything to help the team..we will miss caty...i am proud to say i know caty and anybody that knew her was proud to know Caty Coonen...she was love dearly my her packer friends and will have lefted a spot in all of are hearts...God Bless the Coonen Family..ur in my prayers!

I was very shocked to hear of her death. I'm still waiting for Caty to come around the corner and say "What ya doing Brittany". She will be deeply missed on the halls of Northwest Middle school.

Please look at the addition to

The Photo Gallery.

Taken July 2

The support and love that our family has received through the experience of loosing Caty has been indescribable. For 12years, God blessed me with so much, having Caty. Caty had the ability to meet someone and instantly make them feel as if you meant the world to her. She woke up everyday loving life to the fullest, never wanting to miss out on anything or miss a chance to say hello with a big warm loving hug. I know she has left us physically, but her spirit lives so vividly in so many of us. I know God had his plan for her here on earth as many of us can never love the way she has done. Caty's place is in heaven now and she has eternal life. Caty has now learned patience because she knows God wants us all to be there with her someday.

God has answered my prayers, as He is strengthening me to get through this, even if it is only day by day.

To the Coonen family--

I didn't know Caty that well, but when I was with her, she always wanted to make you smile! No matter what kind of mood you were in, she would always make you laugh. She was the nicest, sweetest person that I have ever, and probably will ever meet. Caty cheered together when we were in 2nd grade, and even then I remember her smiling all the time. Our prayers are with you

The Bridgeman family of California and North Carolina would like to express our deepest condolencies to the Coonen and Mulhearn families at this sad time. We all remember Caty as such a happy,vibrant young lady with such a zest for everything and everyone! All our love, Aunt Helen, Uncle Jack, Tony, Patsy, Ken and Karen and our scottie doggies!!!!

My deepest sympathy to all of you. My prayers will be with you all in the days ahead. May God welcome Caty home to a wonderful life beyond our best dreams. Prayer and hugs to everyone that knew and loved her. Janet

I was sorry to hear of the passing of caty. May God continue to strenghten your family

my deepest regrets and condolences go out to your family. Caty was a very sweet girl. I had a chance to meet her on the packer field with her bright smile and cheerful spirit. I will miss caty, because when she wasn't practicing she was toting my lil baby girl on her back. Caty will miss her this year, because she can finally cheer. I hope you all are doing well and take care and good bless.... brianna, donecia, and ayana mitchell

Dear Will, Maureen, Elizabeth & Ian,

I was SO sorry to hear of Caty's

death-she was such a sweetheart!

She will be missed greatly be

all of you, me & MANY other people!

When my father died, she sent me

a sympathy card; I was so touched that I cried!



In Christian Love,

Donald James

We never got a chance to meet her but our thoughts are always with you what a beautiful girl she was.

love from Tracy David

Robert Amy and Danielle

(Marlenes daughter)

I find it hard to express the sadness I feel over the loss of Caty. Such a special young lady, with so much tallent. I will always remember Caty's love for life, just wanting to be a friend to everyone. A couple of my fondest memories are of Caty, Ian and Elizabeth singing Christmas carols with such harmony while helping make ornaments. Or at the Packer field, Elizabeth coaching younger Packer teams, Caty cheering the Packers on and Ian trying to distract Caty. You are both in my thoughts and prayers as are Maureen, Will, family and friends. The one thing I know, we are all so much better having had time with Caty. May God Bless you all!

Coonen Family,



I'm very sorry about Caty's death. She was a good friend of mine. I will always miss her.

I had the honor of knowing Caty and shareing so many special times together with her,she was full of life, happyness, and love for every one she met. Caty has made me a better person for knowing her, she has made me realize how precious life is and how to share it with everone, and to help other people no matter who, or what it may be. Caty has inspired me to do things I normally wouldn't do, she is my inspiration for life, I am so Proud of Caty so Proud. I'm a very fortunate person to have shared time with such a special lady, she will always be my Catylady! Im so Proud of her, so Proud!!!!

Dear Maureen, Will, Elizabeth and Ian!

When Carla called me on July 4th to tell me about Caty's accident I was frozen in shock. It's been years since we've seen all of you, but our memories of when we were neighbors across the fence in Reno and how Elizabeth, Ian and Caty would come over everyday and play with Joe and Nina will stay with us forever. We have thought of you all often as we see your former home everyday and all the fun times we had. Please know our love and prayers are with your family. I cannot believe what has happened, but God does have a plan for all of us and Caty accomplished her purpose on earth a lot quicker than the rest of us. We will all be together again one day, but for now we must trust God's decisions and let the happy memories pull you through. Love to you all!
