LAUGHING, Catherina

The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona Friday, July 11, 2003 Catherina Laughing, age 16 months, died quietly at St. Joseph's Hospital on July 8, 2003 after being taken off life support earlier that evening. She fought for her life for five long and arduous days while her family and friends stood by her side. Her will to live amazed us all, and she has touched our lives in the most remarkable way.

We also wish to acknowledge the sorrow of her biological parents, Evelyn Yazzie and Everett Laughing, as well as that of the Los Ninos Children's Hospital staff. Catherina is survived by so many people who loved her very much. A traditional Navajo ceremony will be held in her honor on Saturday, July 12, 2003 at 10:30 am at Resthaven Park Cemetery, 6290 W. Northern Ave. Visitation will be held from 9:00am-10:00am at Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, 5921 W. Thomas Rd.
