What a great person she was ! Bob you will have memories forever of lives well led. My sincere condolences having nothing to use but these feeble words . I wish you and your family the very best getting through all this.
We are so very sorry to hear of this great loss to your family. Cathy will always be remembered as a beautiful, loving and giving woman. She will truly be missed in so many ways. Please reach out if you need anything – I can try to make some Blueberry Muffins but they won’t come close to Miss Cathy’s. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bob and family.
