Dearest Aunt Catherine, Our weekly visits and your stories will be sorely missed! Janice, Mick and John, may your memories keep you smiling, always. I know mine will. She was an amazing woman!
My dear Godmother, Catherine, was always an inspiration and a love of my life. We shared, loved, cared and enjoyed each other. My mom, Olga, Catherine’s maid of honor, sends her love and special remembrances. Our “extended” Ukrainian family will forever be in our hearts. We pray for Catherine’s entire family and the peace of God to warm their hearts. Love, Dorothy and daughter, Tracy, who loved Aunt Catherine as well.
God bless,
Phil and family
