God bless all of you who have comforted my family and myself thru this extremley rough time. With the support of you, my friends and family - I have found some comfort. Everyone has been tremendously caring and helpful. It is a tragedy that such a beautiful soul has been taken from us. But - she will live on in our hearts forever. And I know she is watching over us all - especially Catherine. With all the love in my heart, thank you all.



I love you mom...
