Our mother Catherine Sue Gross Bouse suddenly passed December 26th early morning. We are going to have a funeral service and cremation for my mother, and that has yet to be arranged and we will get the date out ASAP but struggle as a family to be able to pay for the expenses. The funeral will take place at Jackson Funeral Chapel in Rensselaer. She was too young to go and was a beautiful, strong, big hearted person. She had 8 children, Kierstin Gross (myself), Derek Gross, Hallie Bouse, Emma Bouse, Desmond Bouse, Landyn Stotler, Logan Hurley, and Taegan Pinkerman.

This is not about the need for money to be raised - it is more about pulling together to show this family they are loved and that we're lifting them up right now. We pray that Phillip is now experiencing the peace that often alluded him in this life, but the tragic automobile accident that claimed his life has left his family stunned. Their family is certainly no stranger to grief, but here - right before Christmas - they could use our help. And more importantly, a show of love and support that only a small-knit community like ours can give. Maybe you went to school with Phil or just knew him, maybe you know Karen & Mike or Randy & Peggy or other family members. - or maybe you're a complete stranger - if you could drop $5 bucks anonymously on this account - you have no idea what a huge impact you would be making for them at this very difficult time. Mother Teresa once said, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” Will you join with us in helping Phil's family?
