We remember lovingly those close to our hearts but who sadly are no longer with us. They are here with us in spirit always. Our greatest treasure is the wonderful memories of the precious times we spent together, which we will cherish in our hearts forever.

Bryan and family, I wanted to let you know how moving Cathy's send off was.
I have been thinking about her and all her wisdom that you shared with everyone.
She is in my heart and my prayers are with you.
Much Love, Joan

Cathy was like a mother to me growing up. I feel so lucky to have known her. Her sense of humor, her honesty and her perspective were refreshing and wonderful to be around. Your whole family is unique and precious and carries these qualities. Each one of you has great personality and I am so glad to know you all. Please know that I am deeply saddened by her passing and wish her great love and light. I wish also great love and light to you, her family at this time and always.

Bryan and family,
"What we once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Helen Keller.
We are saddened by your loss, and extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathies. Knowing that words cannot ease the loss you bear or the grief and pain you feel, we pray that you may find strength in the love of family and the thoughts and prayers of friends, and that God will comfort and give you peace of mind.

Bryan & Family: My memories of Cathy during our high school years were always fond ones. Although she was a year older than I, I never remember her not having a smile on her face. I remember her as always having a pleasant and kind word for everyone. She's been heaven-bound since the time I first met her. May the beautiful memories she left behind during her lifetime help to bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Every time I saw Mrs. O'Connor, she always had a smile on her face and a hug for me. What a tremendous loss for her family, but an incredible addition to the angels!
