Catherine’s main focus in life was being a wife, mom and grandma.

Catherine’s enthusiasm and positive attitude for life and getting well was always inspiring to me. She truly was one of my favorite patients. My family and I are praying for her eternal peace and your families’ comfort in this time of loss.
Larry,
Our mom adored you. She spoke fondly of you and deeply appreciated your efforts in helping strengthen her throughout her journey. She’s truly the strongest, most dedicated to doing her part on courageous journey to try and achieve transplant. We are and will forever be proud of her. Our hearts hurt so deeply, and your words are helpful during this excruciating time. Thank you… Cathy’s family
Thinking of your family and sending my deepest sympathies. She is flying with the Angels now and she is at Peace. Such a hard fought battle. Love and hugs to your family ❤️
Thank you so much Tracy! Yes she is, and yes she DID!! We want her back so badly, but hold onto knowing she’s with Jesus, her mom and dad and fully healed. I know she is looking down and so grateful for the kind, thoughtful, and beautiful gesture from you and Chris ❤️🪴 Love you guys.
Cathy was one of the most loving mothers I knew. I grew up down the street from her and she was always striving to make not only her daughters smile, but all the neighborhood kids that she welcomed into her home. She was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed.
Heather…. I love this so much. She loved you as her own. Thank you for all you do to be there for our family ❤️
