Catrina Lynn Rau had a smile that could light up the whole room and a smile that was contagious. Catrina’s favorite words were Dada, bubba, and ya. Every time she said mama she would blow bubbles, shake her head and giggle at you. Catrina loved to play outside with her brother Owen Lenhart and enjoyed him pushing her around in the stroller real fast to get her giggling. She also loved to do silly face and screaming contests with every one and she would always win. Catrina also enjoyed going to the park with her brother Owen and Auntie Lola and Grandma Cat. Catrina loved to cuddle with her daddy and absolutely loved pulling his hair and his beard with a big smirk on her face looking him in the eyes.
