Sorry to hear of Catherine’s passing. I had a lot of respect and admiration as a neighbor and paper boy growing up on Evergreen Street in Painesdale. Your family was a steadfast and welcome anchor in our sometimes unstable neighborhood.
Wishing the family and all who knew Catherine will be comforted with many pleasant memories to ease this sad loss.

I think of Kay everytime I watch Wheel of Fortune. She often went to programs at First Baptist Church of McAllen with me. I had such a nice time staying over with them when I visited the U.P. Good neighbors, good friends. Raymond may be interested in knowing Jerry Edmond passed last month in Mission Tx. He was one of us who surprised you on your 50th Anniversary . There are only two of us left out of that bunch who came up that time. The people who bought your place here mentioned seeing your initials in the concrete, and asked me about that. Be strong Raymond and family.
