The memorial service
was at 10am on Wednesday, 12/28/2005, at the Alameda Family funeral home by the train tracks on Saratoga-Sunnyvale. The Buddhist ceremony began at 8:45am before the general service. The burial was conducted at Madronia Cemetery in downtown Saratoga, followed by a reception at Catherine's house, where friends shared many happy memories of Catherine. In lieu of flowers, the family directed donations toward a memorial fund that has been established at Saratoga High.
