I just learned of Catherine's passing today and I just wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathy to her family. She was loved by all who knew her at the beauty salon and she had a special spot in my heart as well as Susan.

Kate, Tom and families, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful, mother, Catherine. Every time I saw her, she had a big smile on her face, very loving, genuine and always happy to see you. She now rests in God's loving arms until you meet her again. Rest in Peace, Catherine.
