I knew Catherine has Anne while employed along with her in the school`s office of our diocese. She loved her life and as most especially her family. The death of Bob rocked her world, and she managed to plug along. In this world, we should be so lucky to be counted as one of her friends. Keeping you in my prayers, my dear your death really rocks, my world, too. lovingly, Marie Irons.
