I was truly sorry to hear about Cathy's passing. Cathy was a caring loving mother grandmother and friend to many. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. She was so proud of Michael and JoJo as well as all her grandchildren. I spoke with Cathy last week. I am glad she was able to see many of her family members recently. She told me how happy that made her
May God Bless her and keep her close. May God Bless those close to Cathay,with Strength, Peace Serenity and understanding
Sincerely Nan (Aunt Nancy's niece)
