We needed both of them and both are now gone.

It was obviously far too soon for her to go, but it seems to me that if your time must come, there’s something pretty special about being allowed to pass in peace and dignity, with family by your side, knowing that you’re loved and that your time on this Earth meant something to people.

Best wishes for Cathy’s family and friends, and all the blessings to her in the next life.
