Yesterday, a tree was planted in Holland in Catherine's memory. It was planted in Wilhelminabos, a forest named after Queen Wilhelmina. The forest is located in the northern part of the Roggebotzand in Dronten opposite Kampen. The forest was started December 9, 2000 and is dedicated to people who have died of Cancer. Some of Catherine's relatives in Holland got together and arranged to have a tree planted in her memory. On this day there were around 3000 people. A tree was planted and her name was engraved on one of the glass panels. After 1 minute silence, they let red and white balloons into the sky, and then they went to a field to plant a tree.
To all involved in arranging this for Catherine, I thankyou all. It is a beautiful memorial. Below are some pictures of the day sent to me from Loes en Kees.

They chose an evergreen tree for Catherine.
Catherine's name is engraved on the glass panel (28-9) for September 28th.
Thanks again to all involved.
