I would like to extend my condolences to you all.
I knew Catherine through Friendly Valley Girl Scouts.
She was a wonderful caring and giving lady.
I missed her these last years when she stopped helping.
She is in a better place now and is probably socializing with past Girl Scout persons.
God Bless you all. My prayers are with you.

I would like to send my condolences to your family. I have been Catherine’s hair stylist for many years. She was a lovely lady who gave her time to help others. She shared with me many stories of her family trips which she loved. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Ann and Tom,
Your mother was a dear friend for many years, though we’d lost touch in recent years. She was a great bridge player, a true intellect, a person of conviction, filled with kindness, grace, and sensitivity to the needs of others. It’s been a privilege to know her. She was always of good cheer and rarely complained. The community will miss her contributions! We were out of town and didn’t realize she had passed away until some weeks later. I’m so sorry to have missed her funeral. Please accept my deepest condolences.
With sincere sympathy,
Chris Furry
