  • Catherine was one of the most joyful woman we knew! She changed her circumstances so she could live independently. Her zest for life was keen whether celebrating a birthday, dancing at socials, setting up buffets for functions, or sharing a joke. We will miss your lovely voice, sharp intelligence, empathetic ear, and deep spirituality. Our condolences to her family, of whom she always spoke of with great love and pride.

  • My wife and I only had two days to get to know Catherine, but afterwards we couldn't stop talking about her. She was honest with others and deeply honest with herself. A deep seeker, she was learning to know who she really was, and therefore could understand the depths of others. A gentle and sweet spirit, she was attuned to all that was good while surrounded by a world of pain and tragedy. She indeed embodied a unique spirit which will not soon be forgotten. - Posted by: Rt.Rev. Bob Drayer (Friend) on: Jul 17, 2015
