Some have been getting onto me about my lack of blogging lately. It’s just been busy around here. My apologies to our family members around the world. I’ll do better.
A few months ago, I wrote about my cousin, Catie, and have also kept a link to her blog over in my “favorite sites” list.
I have many fond childhood memories of her and she was always so sweet and cheerful.
Her husband, Steve, posted today that Catie passed away this morning. My sister and I were just talking about how she kept those smiles going, even in the recent pictures.
And it makes the words on her blog “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~ e.e. cummings” fitting.
If you’ve never visited her blog, you can click here and see pictures of Catie with her family.
Catie was one of Uncle Eston’s grandchildren and I have many great memories of visiting with her out on our “Pa’s” farms.
Please keep her family in your prayers.

Here’s the text from my former post:
Many of you have heard me talk about my sweet cousin, Catie, who learned she had cancer while pregnant with her 3rd child. I can’t imagine hearing that news at any point in my life, and certainly not while carrying a new life.
Whenever I read her posts while I was pregnant, I felt so ashamed for all my whining and complaining about morning sickness and other aches and pains. Her posts revealed her sweet demeanor and constant strength and she was handling much bigger trials with more grace than I ever could.
Catie is one of my Uncle Eston’s grandchildren. Some of you have read about him in my short stories.I have many great memories of playing with her and the rest of my cousins out on our “Pa’s” farms (again, as you read about them in my stories).
Recently, a few family members (I’ve often said the Dunns are a big family and here’s proof–many family members represented in the above picture)ran the Wasatch Back Race, which is 188 miles long from Logan to Park City, Utah along the Wasatch Back.
They called themselves Team C.A.T.I.E., which stands for courageous, admirable, tough, inspirational, and exemplary.
You can visit Catie’s blog by clicking here.
We love you Catie and are praying for you and your sweet family! You are such an inspiration!
