To Brendan, the Ellis children, and the Carters: I send love and prayers for your terrible loss. Without Catherine’s tenderness & sensitivity, the world is a bit harsher today. Catherine consoled me after I had two miscarriages: and delighted in me becoming a mother. Brendan, hug those beautiful children tight. I will be thinking of all of you.

Dear Will and Family,
I was very sorry to read this in the paper this morning. What a loss to lose someone so young. All of you and Catherine will certainly be in my prayers during this Easter season. God bless.

Jeff and I send our love and prayers to all in the Carter, Bell, and Larson families at this most difficult time.
Catherine was one of the most gentle souls I have ever encountered. I remember her fondly when she was a child and then will always treasure the times we had with her as a next door neighbor… watching her become a loving, devoted mother.
I think of her now tending to all the animals in heaven.
Please know our hearts are with you all!
Peace to you.
Love, Beth Richardson Chiparo and family
