One of my many memories of Aunt Catherine was, one time me, Steve, Russ, and Tony cut school. We were hiding in the gangway between my house and Rusty’s house. We saw Aunt Catherine walking down the block to go to work at the National Tea, we thought she didn’t see us, well we were wrong. She came back and caught us all. Sending back to school. ( I don’t think we did though). I will miss you and your delicious meals that she made us eat, even after we already had eaten dinner at our own homes.
Rest In Peace Aunt Catherine.

I will always remember Aunt Catherine for all her adventures. She always had a new one anytime you saw her. I remember the one time we saw her at Drew’s dads house in Illinois and she had just come back from White Water Rafting. She had so much life and love. Aunt Catherine had the best smile that I will always remember. She also made the best lasagna and she always made you eat, even when you said you just ate.
Rest In Peace Aunt Catherine you lived a fun filled life.

One of my favorite memories of Aunt Catherine was, when me, Steve, Tony, and Rusty decided we didn’t want to go to school. We waited in the gangway between my house and Rusty’s house until everybody had left the houses. We thought the coast was clear when, we saw Aunt Catherine walking down the street on her way to work at National Tea. We thought she didn’t see us, but we were wrong and caught us all.

I love you grandma. You were such an inspiration to all of us. You had such much love to give. You taught me such much over the years, and I want to thank you for always being there for us. If it wasnt for help and support when we were kids we would not be where we are at today. I had an amazing trip with you a couple of months ago and will never forget it. I am a better person because of you. You will never be forgotten. We will all be together soon to celebrate your life. Love Stacy.

Gram, words can’t describe how much I miss you! It’s not the same without you. You were the backbone of this family and will be greatly missed. I am so honored and blessed to be able to call you my Grandma. Thank you for being you. Love you forever.
