    Steve, Cristie, Katie and Kerry I would take away all of the pain you are enduring. Aunt Cathy is loved by so many. She touched lives she didn't even realize. Her struggles she face, she faced them no matter how tough. There is a Bible scripture that keeps my hopes up John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21,3,4, it gives us hope to see her in a new system of things at her healthiest. No more sickness, no more pain or suffering. I love you all very much.
