Grandma, you have always been a beacon of light to everyone around you. I know that this was not your home, but you changed many lives during your stay here, mine included. Thank you for being such a wonderful grandmother, and, even more, such an amazing person. We all love you and miss you very much! Welcome home!
When I saw Katherine’s obituary in the Bedford paper it brought back wonderful memories of summers spent at Bethel Park Campground. Katherine was a wonderful Christian woman who I remember very fondly for her great sense of humor and limitless patience. My mother valued her friendship very much and my siblings and I always looked forward to Catherine and her children coming to Pennsylvania. My deepest sympathies to her family.
You were a remarkable women!! You showed so much love , and in return you were Loved by many. Even though I will miss you I know you are at peace and have gone home. My love and prayers are with all of you .
John, We wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts & prayers. Remember to keep doing the next right thing! Lean on those who are here for you. Also remember God will carry us when we are to weak to carry ourselves.
