Our Aunt Catherine will surely be missed by all of us in the family. She was a very special lady in my life, that’s for sure.
So saddened to hear of Aunt Catherine’s passing; I loved and admired her since I was a child; I remember her beautiful hydrangeas as a child and could not wait to finally plant some for myself as an adult. Sorry I cannot be there; would love to hear back from my cuz Becky who I have not seen for so many years if she is there. God bless Aunt Catherine; she will be missed.
