Catherine was like second mother to me. She helped me plan my mother's funeral and luncheon. She was the best at everything she did.I have missed her since she moved in with Virginia.Since my parent's were deceased, Tom & Catherine sat at the bridal table with us,when my daughter got married. I felt so honored to have them with us. Catherine loved my mom's paintings and my mom loved their friendship. Love to the Gibb's family and dear Catherine.She will be missed. Love always, Jenifer

I am sorry to hear about your Mother. I remember her at the Golf Club and when I was a child and would spend the night with Virginia. Going to your Church on Sunday was something. I have fond memories of her.
