I am so sorry to hear of Catherine's passing. She has had a difficult time this past year . I have always admired her caring family and the way they loved and took such good care of their mother and grandmother. Catherine was very fortunate to have that love.I enjoyed doing Catherine's hair and talking with her. She will be missed but she is at peace now.
