CatherineWHEWELL-HEARNIN LOVING MEMORY OF MY SISTER CATHERINE Catherine was a baby when world war two broke out-not quite one year old. I was three. We had a family of eight children but there was only five during the war, the oldest was nearly five. Whilst dad was away in the army Mother was keeping us safe at home in Liverpool. It was lucky for us that during the night of heavy bombing, Mrs Nelson across the road invited us to join her family in the Anderson shelter, otherwise I wouldn't be here to tell the tale about my dear sister. After the war, when we reached our teens, we travelled everywhere. Finally, when we thought we were ready to settle down it was then that America beckoned and we emigrated. The families we worked for were lovely and America is a beautiful country but we got homesick and just after over a year we came back home to Liverpool, mum and dad and the family. The war must have unsettled us because it was not to last long. There was more work in London so we were off again, that is where Catherine met the love of her life, Douglas Hearn, and they had two children. Sad to say, when she became a widow with health issues and missed Douglas, life had no meaning for her, she just seemed to be waiting for the day when she could join him. God go with you Catherine! and Douglas. From your travelling, companion sister Josephine and her late husband Norman Xxxx
