I just learned of mom Dietrich’s home going today. I loved her so, she saw me for who I was and loved me any way. The world was a better place when she was in it. Now Heaven is. I miss her.

Catherine was always a cheery person to be with.  We had the privilege of taking her to ACTS a number of times when she lived at Brethren Village.  Also, one Sunday soon after our first child was born, she came to us and offered to hold him, saying, “Now you go ahead and worship!”  We gratefully entrusted him to her!
