My condolences to the family.
My condolences to the family. Wow, 95, she lived a great life. My grandfather was Thomas Law. I got to know Catherine for a short while, it was nice to have known her.

Thinking of you
I send my prayers to all of the family.
Catherine had a long life, but it is always hard to say good bye to a family member.
I remember Catherine, Faye, Ed and Cathie from years back when RoseMarie and Bob Snyder were neighbors from the other end of the road.
I lost George "Buddy" almost 6 years ago.
May you all find peace during this difficult time.

We are so sorry for the loss
We are so sorry for the loss of this great lady. She was loved deeply. The world will not be the same without her, but her legacy carries on with the rest of her marvelous family. You are all loved.
Good bye and God Bless my dear friend
My dearest Catherine,
You were my friend and my teacher as well as my patient in the care of Hospice for quite some time. We had our highs and our lows. We had our laughter and our tears. We had our hugs and our discussions. You have taught me so much about you and your years on this great Gods green earth.
You have taught me things that I would have never known had it not been for you. You had become my "adopted" grandmother since I no longer had one. We had formed a tight bond between us and shared many a story. Our visits were both professional and personal. You had become my friend and for that, I will always cherish our times together no matter how short. Your daughter Faye and son-in law Ed had also become part of me because they are part of you. We all shared our concerns about you. We spoke often of you. All of us, especially Barb and Rev. Gayle and Stephanie as well as myself, loved and adored you. In our minds and in our hearts, my dear Catherine, you will live on forever and will never be forgotten. May God Bless you and keep you safe. You will forever be missed.
Prayers, Thoughts and love to your family. May God give them the strength to keep you memory alive for generations to come.
Love,
Donna Johnson, RN
