Aunt Cathy, my heart broke for you when I heard you passed. Thank you for the love, kindness and great memories. I'll never hear you say "how are ya" when we would talk. I am comforted that you are with God and the family. Love you, Bunky.
Rest in peace Aunt Cathy. Give all the Hamiltons big hugs from San Bernardino. Will always remember the trip to Rome, getting stuck in the elevator and having hot tea instead of cold tea "because it's better for you"
