Sad Day

About a month ago, Bob's aunt Catherine Baxter began to get really sick. She was having trouble remembering things and just didn't feel well. Bob's mom Janet took her to the doctor where they soon found a large mass that would later be labeled as brain cancer. She opted to have surgery right around the 1st of December. She came through the surgery ok, but never really was herself again. We got the phone call today that her battle was over, and she went home to meet her Lord.

Even though I just got the opportunity to really get to know her the last few years, it is still sad to see Janet and her brother's go through this lose. She was like a mother to many of her brothers and recently became her sister's best friend.

Please pray for the Zollman family as they go through this tough time.

Here is a picture of Ellie and Catherine back in the summer

Memories to share with her great-nieces:

* She loved going to the boat. She never spent much money, but just loved the atmosphere
* She always had a smile on her face. She was soft spoken but her words were always heard loud and clear
* Every Saturday night she would go to the Scottsburg Jamboree with Grandma Jenkins
* Every August (it never failed-the hottest day of the year) she would organize a Zollman family reunion.
* The day before her surgery she got the opportunity to meet and hold Madelyn. She did not want to give her up.
* She lived a full life and would have been 81 this April.
