Yesterday
We met sweet Cathy and Lee many, many years ago on a cruise at dinner. We were fast friends and sailed together every year since- 23 plus years. We became family, and even though we live in New York, distance never mattered. We spoke on the phone very often. Many of our family were able to sail with us to meet them. Our hearts are broken but we feel blessed that our life paths crossed those many years ago. She is now reunited with the love of her life, her soul mate, Lee. Rest in the arms of Jesus sweet Cathy. Until we meet again and book that cruise in heaven! We love you and your sweet heart. Your New York sister and brother, Patti and Gary.
