Dear Kathleen, She dearly loved you, too. She spoke of you often and would share her wonderful memories of your early days together. Love, Carl and Margie

Dear Betty and all of the Bates extended family, So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Catherine's (always Mrs. Bates to me) great laugh and her dignified manner. What a wonderful life she had according to the lovely tribute you have written. You are all in my prayers.

I met Catherine through my sister Jeannine Hong. What a delightful person! Every time I visited my sister, we would usually stop in to visit Catherine and have a glass of wine with her. Jeannine thought so highly of her. She was a joy to visit. I'm so sorry for your loss but heaven will be richer with her presence. Prayers for her and for the family at this sad time.

Dear Bates family, We are sorry to hear of the passing of your mom/grandmother.. How amazing that she was of healthy mind and body for 97 years. What a blessing. Her beautiful spirit will remain with you all as she joins your dad in heaven. Much love, Jan and Jim Gould
