Cathy, I was so sorry to hear that your mom had passed. She was a wonderful person and I am sorry I never got around to visit her later in life. We stay so busy and time has a way of getting us off track from the things we should do. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the service. If I can do anything, let me know. I hope to see you soon. Love Wayne Osborne

This is my second entry into the Guest Book, but I just wanted to add this: I attended the memorial service today for Catherine and I wanted to tell her daughter, Kathy and her son, Scott and his wife, Trish, that the service was the most heart warming, loving services I have ever attended. The pastor's message about eternal life made me realize that although Catherine is no longer on this earth, she will forever be a part of our lives. Thank you for the wonderful dinner. Lovingly, Iris Peace

I loved Catherine. She was a wonderful friend and we had such great fun playing dominos together, especially with John Walker. I will miss Catherine, I will always love her and miss her not being here on earth with us, but she is in a better place now and she feels no pain.
