To all of Cathy's family, We have all lost a jewel of a person - one of the best. Your mom/Yiayia was a joy to be with, talk to, and listen to. Her stories kept us laughing as she laughed along with us. We all were lucky to have Cathy in our lives. Eternal be her memory. Kathy and Bruce

My deepest sympathies to all your families. Your mom was one of the first people I met when Mike and I moved to Price. She was always so nice to me, and I will always remember her gracious hospitality and delicious cooking. May you be comforted with all the beautiful memories of her. May her memory be eternal.
