In memory of our daughter-in-law, Cathy Stephan Gravelle, who passed from melanoma cancer in 2010. Memories for Kids was created by Lisa Gravelle because of our loss as a family.

Tanya and I were both VPs for Student Affairs at Jesuit universities. I always appreciated Tanya because we didn’t just talk about work, but she talked a lot about her family and especially how much she enjoyed watching Gabe and Noah play baseball. Tanya was really good about keeping in touch through Christmas cards. I will miss that and much more.
I was so happy to read on CaringBridge that she was able to enjoy an outing with her family to watch the beloved Chicago Cubs. I am giving in her honor so other families can build fond memories. Please know you remain in my prayers.
