I have many wonderful memories of your Mom. I've seen the love expressed as you've cared for her and your Dad these past years. She must have been very proud to know her family cared very deeply for them.

Not only has it been a joy to have worked with Catherine, but now being a part of Sears' retirement group, it has been refreshing and also an encouragement each time I saw her. She had overcomed so much, just knowing her has helped to build up my faith. She will be missed. Remember John 5:28,29.
sincerely, Frances

Your mother was such a special person and she has meant so much to us. She has been like a grandmother to Michelle. She will be truly missed but be comforted in the knowledge that she is at peace in a very special place.
