So sorry for your loss. … a beautiful lady…..so many happy memories of Catherine and Frank…God be with all of you
Deepest sympathies and prayers for the Lytle family and her extended family. I remember your Mother fondly and she was a lovely lady. I remember her love for her 5 daughters growing up on Eaton Road. She was a very strong lady and protective of her family.
Your friend and former neighbor,
My deepest sympathies and prayers. Deb, your mom was such a lovely woman and always welcomed me into her home! What a wonderful gift she was, especially to you and “the girls.”
No words, however kindly meant, can sooth your pain away, but may the love around you help you make it through the day. And may each day that passes bring the family of your precious mother Catherine, comfort, peace and grace through memories that neither grief nor parting can ever erase.
May God’s love surround you during this difficult time . God Bless Nancy, Mom (Rosemary) and Dave
Catherine was such a beautiful woman. It was an honor and a delight to have had her as a client!
