Dianne and Dennis and families: Enjoyed looking at pictures, brought back many memories. Was so sorry about her death, but know she will be in a better place. She was a wonderful lady. Sorry I can’t make it to visitation or funeral. I am getting up there in age too but am thinking of you all
The slide show was wonderful. What a beautiful tribute to your mom’s life.
Sending thoughts and prayers! We will miss aunt Catherine ❤️ Sorry we couldn’t make the funeral. Much love ߒ•
My condolences to both you and Dennis and all your children and grandchildren who will miss her deeply. I remember your mom in our childhood with a smile. The slide show captured that kind smile which made us all feel good as children on Bolton Drive.
