Some Sad news

[Deanna]

If this has already been posted somewhere--please forgive me.
I found out this evening that a fellow scrapping friend Catherine Simon has died (hivart) here. Apparently she had a massive heart attack. She was on a few CT's with me, and she was truly a lovely lady. If you are a facebook friend of her, several of the designers she's ct'd for have started tribute posts there--with a lot of her layouts she made for them. It's really quite touching.

My prayers go out to her family Deanna. I know that the ladies here are a very close knit group and her loss will be felt throughout the scrapping community. My heartfelt sympathy to all here who were on teams with her and/or were her friends.

her facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/catherine.simon.77?fref=ts
not sure what her settings are, so not sure if you can see much or write on her wall if you aren't a friend there. She had friends all over the place!!

Very sad news. I'm not fb friends with her and could not see anything on her timeline. She seemed like a very sweet lady and was certainly a talented scrapbooker. Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

Sending prayers to her family. She was an amazing artist and so nice, always left the sweetest comments on layouts! She will be missed!

Created by Jill started a Candlelight vigil for her. If you have time, please light a candle in her honor.

I am still in shock over this news. I just "talked" with her Sunday. It's so surreal that by Tuesday, she was gone. She was on my CT and a dear friend. What a talented and sweet lady. She will be missed.

That is so sad. I didn't know Catherine other than seeing her layouts. Prayers for her family and friends.

I was so sad to hear this Cathy was always such a lovely lady. I'm sure her layouts will be treasured by her family.

I will keep her family and friends in my prayers.
