I'm sad to hear of cousin Timmy's passing, but happy that him and Catherine are now together again. They were so wonderful to my cousin Paula & I growing up. We would have sleep overs at their house and then would always go to the Irish Hibernian Club and watch them dance. They were the perfect couple, may they rest in peace.

Cousin Timmy was one of the most gentle people I knew. He always had a kind word and a twinkle in his eyes that made my heart warm. He and Catherine were a wonderful couple and always brought a smile to my face when I would see them. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace in your loss.
