My heartfelt sympathy to all of Aunt Catherine's family at this sad time. At the same time, I am so happy for Becky. She had to wait a long time to see her Mom again. I will be thinking of all of you as you celebrate her life.

My deepest sympathies to Catherine's family. She was the breakfast cook at the Holiday Inn, Albert Lea, when my husband, Peder, was the afternoon/dinner cook. He always admired her ability to make such delicious meals so early in the morning! He wasn't a morning person and functioned better at dinner time!
