Bruce and Jamie, words are hard to come by sometimes, to really express feelings and thoughts, especially in times like this. But, I want you to know I send my sincere sympathy to you and your family. Cathy was ALWAYS so kind to me & I enjoyed every conversation we had over the years. I'm very thankful for the sweet memories of her, and you too Bruce, at Johnna's birthday party. I pray for you all to be comforted with loving family and friends, as well as your own memories.
