Mom, you were always there for us, your children and your grand- children. You are a great loss to me and my family (Jackie, Kyle). You were in our thoughts everyday whether you knew it or not. To hear "oh Geoffrey" I was just thinking about you (when I would call)meant the world to me. It made me realize how very special it is to be part of a family. You may not be here in person, but your spirit and love will always be with us. So goodbye for now until we can sit and have are coffee and tea together again...Love you always

To the Pannaralla Family
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have very many happy memories of your mom and my aunt. I remember spending many summer days at her house and even with all the kids she had she always welcomed me to spend the night. Just remember all the good times.

My condolences to the Pannaralla family, I am so sorry for your loss, I would like to share a memory that comes to me everytime I think of Catherine, this was many decades ago on 54th St. and my mother had sent me down to Catherine's with some item, I don't remember now just what it was, but when I got to the house, she wasn't home and someone directed me out to the garage. There was Catherine sitting in the garage in a lawn chair by herself, I asked her what she was doing out there and she said "Oh their driving me crazy in that house, I just came out here to have some peace and quiet by myself" , we had a good laugh about it that day and after I had three kids of my own, I totally understood about the garage and I would smile and think of Catherine, she was a great lady and always so kind to me whenever I visited, my mother missed her sorely when they could no longer visit together,she always looked forward to seeing her and she always admired her great legs, she used to say "That Catherine can walk for miles with those legs". I hope they will be able to have a nice visit together now. What a strong and inspirational woman she was, she had a great laugh, I can still hear it. God Bless you all.

Dear Mom,
You were my inspiration, my guide, my mentor, my friend.
I love you now, as I loved you when
we talked, we laughed, we cried -together.
Words are inadequate to express my heatfelt thanks,
and words will never fill the void
of your touch, your voice, your essence, "you".
I am forever grateful to have been loved by you, to have known you, to have been part of you.
I love you, Mom. Amen
