Cathy, Linda and Patti,
So very sorry to hear about your mother´s passing.
She will be fondly remembered for her kindness and sweet disposition. Growing up in Kaywin and members of The Church of the Manger, we all gained that special bond with each other.
May your mother meet all those that passed before her as she enters the golden gates to heaven.
Our prayers for her and your family.
Dianne, Donna and Darryl

Patti and Family,
I have and will always remember your Mother as the most friendly and wonderful "lunch lady" at Buchanan School.
Glad she had such a fulfilling and long life with her family.

Mrs. Mohan had a heart of gold and made all of us feel important. She loved and was loved by everyone.
I find it coincidental that Queen Elizabeth passed right after her because in my heart Catherine G. Mohan was our Royal Majesty The Queen.
She reigned over The Kingdom of Kaywin and The Church Of The Manger that she loved so dearly. This woman was true royalty in my heart~
It brings me great comfort to know she is there to intercede for me in times of trouble.
Tom and Cathy Mohan were my son Matthew's Godparents.
I can still hear Mr. Mohan in the choir singing "I Believe" in honor of my child.
She has finally seen the face of our Lord and is with her beloved husband.
Theirs was a true Love Story, they simply adored one another.
Saying "I Loved Them" doesn't come close to the depth of what I feel for the entire Mohan family.
I shed only tears of joy, for this is a true celebration of a life well lived. Till We Meet Again
Rest In Paradise, my dear friend.
I wish all who love you Miracles and Blessings

To the family,
I had the pleasure of working with Mrs Mohan while at Riverton. She had such a great personality and sense of humor. I am sending my sincerest condolences to you all. She made an impact on everyone she interacted with. She will be deeply missed.

Cathy, Linda and Patti...I was saddened to read of your Mother´s passing. Although it´s been many years since we were neighbors, I still have very fond memories of Catherine´s caring personality and wonderful sense of humor. On behalf of my late parents and brother, and with warm regards, I send my sincere condolences to you and your families.

Cathy, Linda, and Patti,
What a woman!! I am so glad to have grown up with your family in Kaywin.
Your Mom and Dad were the second parents of so many of us. The years at the "Manger" will never be forgotten. I was so lucky to sing with Tom all those years in the choir and to work with Catherine in the Sunday School. My parents counted them as two of their close friends (although you´d never guess it the way my dad and your mom would trade barbs).
The three of you were blessed with them, even though, like all of us, we didn´t appreciate it as much growing up as we do now.
I was sorry to hear of Catherine´s passing but I am happy that she lived a long, fulfilling life and has earned her final rest.
Treasure your memories always.
