It is with a heavy heart that I heard the news of Mrs Cattelino´s passing. She was an unbelievably kind, caring, sincere, generous and loving person. I had known her most of my life having been best friends with Scott since our childhood days in Madison. Mrs Cattelino was a mom to many of us and her home was open to all friends. She treated all of us as if we were her own children and I loved being around her. My condolences and love to the Cattelino family during this very difficult time. May Mrs Cattelino rest in peace and find her way back to Mr Cattelino.
With all my love,
Phil

I had the pleasure of getting to know Deri at morning coffee. We met at Amira 55 resident & became instant friends. We spent many times talking about our families & our past. She was so proud of her family & shared many of those memories with me. Deri's family (Debi, Beth & Scott ) that I have had the pleasure to meet are as special as Deri. I miss Deri & our morning coffee but I know she is in a peaceful place. God Bless You Deri
