The Secret
Miss C. Preston
Chesterfield
Miss Catherine Elaine Preston of Chesterfield has fallen asleep. Born in Chesterfield, she was a life long resident, although she could not wait to leave the place to live by the coast of Scotland.
A wannabe artist she spent her time daydreaming and enjoying life. She constantly smiled, unless bored, she was a happy go lucky individual.
A scatty blonde whose interests were multidisciplinary art, Mr Wolfe, Spirituality and never having to get a 9 – 5 job. Oh and a bottle of blonde hair dye, she lived a happy life.
Cat looks forward to seeing you in the next life.
