Our synpathy to your family
 
Jim Caterbone Jr. and family

Chris,
I am sorry to hear about your Mom, she truly was a great lady.  I apologize for not making the services, companies today just aren’t in tune with allowing time off for friends’ services.  I will keep you and your Family in my Thoughts and Prayers.

Teresa Young Rietschey
LCHS & General Cigar

My deepest sympathy to everyone.  Aunt Midge and Uncle Joe deserve to be Sainted for sacrificing their retirement years to help raise their grandchildren.  I enjoyed their company and appreciated all that Uncle Joe and Aunt Midge have done for me over the last 4 years.
I hope that I will be able to attend the ceremonies; however if I am not able, please respect my situation.
Always,
Stan J. Caterbone, Nephew

I’d like to extend my sympathies to the family of Midge; she was a lovely lady who loved her family…and now she is with Joe and other family members. I have wonderful childhood memories of the old neighborhood and my friendship with Chris. I hope you find comfort and peace knowing your Mom is at peace.
With sincere sympathy, Judy (Harnish) Kiely
