Dear Aunt Cathy, You will be missed. I haven't seen you for years, but I have memories of you with Uncle Paul at parties I attended when I was younger. You are in a better world now, one with Uncle Paul and his brother Tikey. You were all the sweetest relatives I have ever had. Such comforting personalities you all had! I will never forget that about you!!! Enjoy the highest heaven because you certainly belong there.

In my deepest sympathies after the fact of learning about your loss, I want to express my obvious thoughts and love for a "truly" lucky family. I met Anthony tonight (2.22.08) and I know what a huge impact "Bunco" had on the family and him. Your family was "blessed" and she forever will be very much missed. Her vigor and spice for life was and is very much evident in Anthony. She will forever hold a place in everyones heart that she came in contact with especially in my "new friend" Anthony. I hope one day I can meet someone that will make that huge of an impression on me. Prayers and Love......Jason Miskus

Catherine was a hoot! I always enjoyed her appointments whether I was doing her hair or someone else! She will be missed and that's no "BUNCO"!
May her memory be eternal!

Grandma

"What could be more precious
than Grandma's special love?
She always seems to know the things
That we are fondest of.
She's always ready with a smile
Or a loving word of praise,
Her laughter always brightens up
The cloudiest of days...
She has an understanding heart
that encourages and cheers.
The love she gives so freely
Grows deeper with the years.
Her wisdom and devotion
are blessings from above-
Nothing could be more precious
than Grandma's special love."

Love you,

Christe and Anthony

Grandma,

I know your at peace and happier than ever because you are reunited with the love of your life! I Love you so much, there are no words to express how I feel. I am going to miss you every minute of the day. Nothing is the same since you left for heaven, the house is lifeless; there is no smile or laughter like yours to fill the room. The only thing I have left of you are the memories in my heart, and let me tell you they are great and will never be forgotten. It is going to be hard not having you around, I will be longing for your gentle touch and loving hug. It unbearable to know that the woman who I admired, learned from, laughed with, danced with, and played with will no longer be there the for me. You were always so proud of me for everything that I did; from skating to school or even drawing a picture, you always brought up my spirits and cheered me on. Thank you!... Thank you for being you, you were the best grandma in the entire world. I am going to miss you so much. It is unfair of me to want you back so bad, I'm just not ready to let go. But I know your happy now, you needed Papa and Papa needed you. I will see you again some day, this is not a good bye, but for now I want you to know that I Love You With All My Heart! Forever and Always.

Love you.

Christe

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
