My dear Aunt Catherine, I know you are in a better place and are free of pain and suffering. I regret I did not know you better; I have so few memories of you…In the 1960’s my father would sometimes take us with him when he visited you and Aunt Bertha. Then I did not see you again until my Father passed…I enjoyed seeing and speaking with you then and at my Mother’s funeral…and I remember thinking you were funny and had a good sense of humor. I wish I knew more about your swimming, ice skating and track experiences and how life was being my father’s older sister. I would loved to have heard about my father’s early childhood from your point of view. I hope you have a joyous reunion with your husband, Bobby, brothers, sister and granddaughter. Rest in Peace Aunt Catherine!
My thoughts and prayers are with the Lawrence family. I remember Kathy bowling with my Mom & Dad at Terra Plaza her name was Bob & Helen Hubbard. She was such a great lady. Rip Cathy.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
