I am thinking of you at this time, and all of your wonderful family, and all of your boys, as well. If I can ever help you,
John, in any way, please just let me know. We all had great memories together at the cabin when our kids were so young.
Most sincerely.

Dear Families,
Our sincerest sympathies in the untimely
passing of Cathy. Carrie and I were friends throughout school and I (Debbie) have many fond memories of being at the Smith
household. Cathy had a smile that lit up the room and a personality that was magnetic. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

To
her husband John, Andy and her boys and extended family. There may not be a better mother, role model, friend and wife that
I witnessed in my time living across the street at Sherwood drive. She even cared enough to keep me straight now and again when she knew I had no one around
to look after me. It makes me happy to know she spent her last moments surrounded by her family & loved ones, and that
the ones who couldn't be there to say goodbye, know very much how lucky we are to have crossed paths with Cathy at one
time or another. John I want you to know I feel the same way about you too! You guys were amazing together!
Prayers and Best wishes
Anthony
