Our beautiful and loving Mom and my children's grandma Catherine, the heart and strength of our family, has gone suddenly to join my Dad Thomas and brother John in whatever Heaven may be. I am sure they are dancing and I know there is music playing and singing going on and a beach, we love you Mom wish I could make you come back but I never could make you do anything you didn't want to do and you probably say the same thing about your kids. Kiss Dad and John for me. My mom taught religious education for St Gerard's Parish, raised her kids and also some neighborhood kids worked in hospitality, catering ,food service and housekeeping at St George's country club in East Setauket, Maryhaven, St Charles Hospital, Stony Brook Veterans home and in North Carolina at the Emerald Island Retreat center.
