I have such good memories of Aunt Catherine. Her smile would light up the room and her hugs were full of love. She will be missed.

Aunt Catherine's light really shone here on earth. I am confident her light shines even brighter in heaven. She is an inspiration to all of us. I know that mom wishes she could be there with you.
