September 1, 2010

There have been a lot of people asking about arrangements. I just got the good news that Massachusetts has decided that Cathy can leave the state now. She will fly to Michigan and has no worry about a window seat or anything because she already has a great view. This is good news because now plans can come together. I’ll provide the information below for the Michigan plans.


I also want to clearly say that Cathy wanted a memorial celebration in Connecticut too. You all know that I ALWAYS did what Cathy wanted so I’ll plan that in the future.

Cathy will go to:

Cook Funeral Home
1889 Baldwin Street
Jenison, MI 49428

We plan to have visitation time from 2 – 4pm and 7 – 9pm on Friday. We will hold the funeral services at 11am on Saturday at Cook Funeral Home.

Cathy had a heart for the orphans and work that is done in Jos Nigeria. She made three trips to work with the kids in Nigeria. Many of you know that Cathy played the flute. One time she packed a suitcase with some recorders and taught the kids to play them. It was great to see the smiles of kids who had something they could call their own. Cathy and I know that the work done there makes a huge difference for kids that have no home, love or schooling. The work done there provides all three so that the kids have a better future. For those that would like to donate in Cathy’s memory, I’ll post information on that in the near future.
