Catherine

It is with a total  sense of disbelief and utter shock that I have to inform you all of the tragic death of Catherine Welsh in a car accident yesterday (Tuesday)morning .

Catherine had been coming to Craigton Lodge for 8 years to lead her hugely popular French activity classes with the sunflowers . She always had a smile on her face , was endlessly patient  and became part of the Craigton family .We were delighted for Catherine and her husband on the arrival of their son 4 years ago , and their daughter earlier this year.  Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to them at this dreadful time .

We have not discussed this with the children - however , many of the staff have been upset today and some children may have noticed this.

Catherine was a lovely person - warm , caring , intelligent and had a genuine interest in every child at the nursery. We will all miss her.
